About this map

Wakley Peak and Elkhorn Mtn dominate the southern portion of this high-elevation landscape, where the Bannock Range defines the drainage patterns of the eastern Idaho backcountry. This 2013 survey illustrates a terrain defined by deep watercourses and numerous natural water sources, including Wursten Spring, Shrives Spring, and Cottrel Spring. Much of the quadrangle is situated within the Caribou National Forest, where the boundary between Bannock and Oneida counties follows the ridgelines and valley floors.

Industrial and agricultural history is etched into the land through the naming of Mines Canyon, while the local hydrology is traced through Wright Cr and the South Fork Spring. The presence of established forest roads like Shrives Rd and Reese Cr Rd provides insight into the management and accessibility of this mountainous region, connecting remote canyons such as Farmers Canyon and Cliff Canyon to the wider network of southeastern Idaho.
