About this map

Caribou National Forest dominates this section of Caribou County, where the high-altitude landscape transitions between dramatic ridgelines and secluded valleys. The small settlement of Wayan sits at the eastern edge of the map, serving as a gateway to the surrounding wilderness and the marshy southern margins of Grays Lake. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent north-south geographical features, including the Grays Range, Rasmussen Ridge, and the Wooley Range.

Hydrological patterns here are shaped by the Little Blackfoot River, which winds through the southern half of the quadrangle, and several seasonal drainages like Gravel Cr and Sheep Cr. Local transport relies on a network of unpaved corridors such as Grays Lake Rd and Henry Cutoff Rd, which connect the dispersed valleys of Clark Valley and Enoch Valley. This map illustrates the intersection of federal forest management and the high-country ranching tradition common to this part of Idaho.
