About this map

The Malad Range dominates the western landscape of this Idaho-Utah border region, where steep drainages and distinctive rock formations define the terrain within the Caribou National Forest. Public lands transition into agricultural valleys near Dayton, where a network of rural roads like Weston Canyon Rd and Black Canyon Rd connects scattered farmsteads. Significant topographical landmarks, including Standing Rock and Dirty Head, serve as anchors for backcountry travelers and local residents alike.

Water management is central to the area's geography, anchored by the Weston Creek Reservoir and the course of Weston Cr. Hikers and hunters utilize established routes such as the Black Canyon Trail and the Black Cy To Dry Cy Connector, which traverse the high ground between Cherry Canyon and the aptly named Dry Canyon. The map details a landscape where traditional forest use and high-desert canyon geography intersect.
