About this map

Caribou National Forest dominates this section of the Idaho highlands, where the border of Bonneville Co and Caribou Co cuts across a landscape defined by high peaks and deeply etched canyons. The terrain is anchored by prominent summits such as Old Baldy Peak, Black Mtn, Bald Mtn, and the namesake Tincup Mtn. A complex drainage system feeds these mountains, with numerous tributaries including Jackknife Cr, Trail Cr, and Squaw Cr carving routes through the wilderness.

Local industry and geography are marked by the presence of the Squaw Creek Sawmill in the eastern portion of the sheet. The map also reveals several distinct geological features, most notably the transition from the high ridges into Skull Canyon, Black Canyon, and Luthi Canyon. This 2013 survey provides an exacting look at the forest roads and natural landmarks within this part of the Caribou Range, including the course of Tincup Cr as it flows through the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
