About this map

Freedom straddles the state line between Idaho and Wyoming, serving as a focal point for this high-altitude mountain valley. To the west, the landscape rises sharply into the Caribou Range, much of which is protected within the Caribou National Forest. This rugged terrain is etched with deep drainage systems like Log Canyon and Weber Canyon, while Old Man Ridge stands as a prominent divide.

In contrast, the eastern portion of the sheet reveals the agricultural and residential development of Star Valley. The Salt River meanders through this basin, creating low-lying areas like The Slough and passing near prominent local landmarks such as Haderlie Knoll. Researchers can trace the layout of Thayne in the southeast, noting the transition from the irrigated valley floor to the foothills where Beard Canyon and Allred Canyon meet the plains. The presence of the Freedom Cem near the town site provides a clear point of interest for those exploring the early genealogy of the region.
