2020 Map of Wakley Peak

About this map

Wakley Peak and the southern reaches of the Bannock Range define the high-elevation landscape of this region along the border of Bannock and Oneida counties. This 2020 survey documents the intersection of public lands and industrial history, notably within the Caribou National Forest. Resource extraction is evidenced by the presence of the Monson Mine and Hills Mine, while the complex drainage network includes Hawkins Creek, Potter Creek, and Wright Creek. The map details a web of specialized access routes, such as the Wright Creek National Recreation Trail and the Wursten Springs Cut-Off, reflecting the area's use for both modern recreation and historic ranching and mining operations in the high Idaho basins.
