About this map

The Emigrant Trail (Lander Cutoff) cuts across this high-altitude landscape, tracing a historic path of westward expansion through the Caribou National Forest. This 1980 survey shows the intersection of the trail with modern land management and ranching operations, marked by the presence of Upper Dairy, Middle Dairy, and Lower Dairy. These dairy labels, along with the settlement of Wayan, point to the agricultural life found in the Upper Valley.

Evidence of the area's human history is anchored by Lanes Grave, a poignant landmark near Lanes Creek. The terrain is defined by the Gray s Range and the headwaters of numerous mountain streams, including Tincup Creek and Daves Creek. For those studying Idaho's high country, this map provides an detailed look at the complex drainage patterns and trail systems that served as lifebloods for early settlers and travelers.
