About this map

Caribou National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Bonneville and Caribou counties. The survey depicts a rugged wilderness defined by towering peaks and a complex drainage system, centered on the heights of Bald Mountain and Old Baldy Peak. Deep canyons and high ridges provide the backdrop for a network of established trails, including a long Pack Trail that traverses the northern slopes. Evidence of localized industry appears at the Squaw Creek Sawmill (Site) in the eastern portion of the quadrangle.

Water is a defining element of this terrain, with numerous drainages flowing from the mountain heights. Major tributaries like West Fork Fish Creek, Jackknife Creek, and Tincup Creek carve through the land, while smaller features such as Luthi Canyon Creek and Haderlie Creek drain the southern slopes. This map records the topographic reality of the region before modern development, focusing on the natural landmarks used by early surveyors and forest travelers.
