About this map

Yost sits near the northern edge of Box Elder County, positioned where the high peaks of the Sawtooth National Forest descend into the Upper Raft River Valley. This 2020 landscape reveals a high-elevation transition from agricultural flats to the steep topography of the Raft River Mountains, including prominent summits like Bally Mountain and Mahogany Peaks. The settlement pattern follows reliable water sources and canyons, with George Cr and Johnson Cr draining the northern slopes.

Local history is anchored by the Yost Cem, while the surrounding terrain is marked by numerous natural springs such as Callahan Spring, Bluth Spring, and Mahogany Spring. This area straddles the state line, with the northern boundary marking the transition from Utah into Idaho. The intricate network of drainage systems, including Charleston Cr and the various forks of Johnson Cr, illustrates the critical water management necessary for life in this arid mountain valley.
