About this map

Caribou National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this Idaho survey, where the steep terrain is carved by Weston Canyon and Cherry Canyon. The landscape transitions from the high peaks of the Malad Range down into the open, arid flats to the south. Notable landmarks such as Standing Rock and the deeply eroded Washboards suggest a topography defined by significant elevation changes and exposed geological formations.

Water management is central to the area's utility, anchored by the Weston Creek Reservoir and its associated spillway. A network of primitive transport, including a Jeep Trail, weaves through the canyons, connecting remote springs and wells to more accessible ground. The intersection of three counties—Oneida, Franklin, and Cache—meets at the southern edge, marking a boundary point between Idaho and Utah just beyond the high ridges of Dirty Head and Black Canyon.
