About this map

Caribou National Forest dominates the central landscape of this Idaho quadrangle, where the high ridges of the Bannock Range form a dramatic divide. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages such as Farmers Canyon and Mines Canyon, which fall away from prominent summits including Wakley Peak and Elkhorn Mtn. To the north, the elevation peaks at Rattlesnake Peak before descending toward the open expanses of Marsh Valley.

Water sources are critical features in this arid high-country environment, with numerous named springs such as Wursten Spring, Butch Spring, and Shrives Spring scattered across the slopes. These springs often serve as the headwaters for seasonal flows like Sheep Cr and Wright Cr. The network of primitive roads, including Perlite Rd and Reese Cr Rd, suggests a landscape primarily utilized for forest management and ranching, connecting isolated canyons to the broader valley floor.
