About this map

Freedom and Thayne anchor this high-altitude landscape along the border of Idaho and Wyoming, where the Star Valley meets the Caribou National Forest. The Salt River winds through the eastern portion of the map, fed by numerous seasonal and perennial flows like Tincup Cr and Miller Cr. This area is defined by sharp topographic transitions, from the agricultural lands near The Slough to the prominent heights of Old Man Ridge and the Caribou Range.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Freedom Cem on the outskirts of the settlement, which sits directly on the state line. The land is marked by a network of ranching and timber access routes, including the Smith Canyon Trail and the Stock Trl. Numerous family-named landmarks, such as Haderlie Knoll, Allred Canyon, and Hemmert Canyon, reflect the settlement history of the drainage basins along the Salt River.
