About this map

Caribou National Forest dominates this mid-1960s terrain, where the high ridges of Bald Mountain and Tincup Mtn define a landscape of deep canyons and seasonal watersheds. The map details a network of drainage systems including Jackknife Creek, Taylor Creek, and the various forks of Fish Creek. A notable point of human activity is the Squaw Creek Sawmill (Site) located in the eastern portion of the quadrangle, indicating the historic importance of the timber industry in this part of Idaho.

The boundary between Bonneville Co and Caribou Co runs through the southern terrain, crossing over steep elevations like Black Mountain. For those researching local history, the inclusion of numerous named springs and the extensive Pack Trail system reveals how travelers and foresters navigated the area before modern road development. Notable peaks like Old Baldy Peak serve as prominent landmarks for orientation within this high-elevation backcountry.
