About this map

Yost serves as the central hub of this high-desert landscape, situated where the Upper Raft River Valley meets the rising slopes of the Sawtooth National Forest. The settlement pattern is defined by a sparse grid of country roads, including George Creek Rd and Yost Rd, which connect remote ranching interests to the Yost Cem. The topography is dominated by the dramatic ascent toward Mahogany Peaks, cut by numerous drainage systems like Johnson Cr and George Cr.

Water security in this arid environment is highlighted by the identification of specific perennial sources such as Callahan Spring, Bluth Spring, and Mahogany Spring. The map captures the intersection of state and county lines, where the Idaho-Utah border crosses northern Box Elder County. From Dry Hollow to Browns Canyon, the land use appears centered on high-altitude grazing and the natural resources of the forest boundary.
