About this map

The Caribou National Forest dominates this Idaho landscape, where high ridgelines and narrow valleys dictate the movement of water and travelers alike. The Blackfoot River flows through the central portion of the map, passing through a constriction known as The Narrows between the Wooley Range and the Rasmussen Ridge. This topography creates distinct geographic pockets such as Rasmussen Valley and Dry Valley, which are linked by remote corridors like Blackfoot River Rd and Diamond Creek Rd.

Resource-rich and largely undeveloped, the area is defined by its dramatic relief, including the Webster Range to the northeast and Schmid Ridge to the south. Small settlements like Upper Valley and Lower Valley mark the human presence in this high-country environment. The intricate drainage network, featuring Lanes Cr and Diamond Cr, highlights the importance of watershed management in the protected forest lands of Caribou County.
