2011 Map of Wheaton Mountain

About this map

Woods Creek defines the northern reaches of this Idaho landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map centers on the high elevation of Wheaton Mountain, a prominent landform overlooking the deeply incised valleys of the region. This topographic record documents the sparsely developed character of the Bonneville County high country, where the terrain is dominated by steep canyon walls and seasonal drainage patterns. Local geography is shaped by the complex network of unnamed ravines and ridges surrounding the mountain summit, illustrating the transition between the watershed of Woods Creek and the higher reaches of the plateau. Researchers of this area can study the placement of modern access roads relative to the natural topography of the basin.
