About this map

The Upper Raft River Valley sits at the high-desert intersection of the Idaho and Utah border, where the Sawtooth National Forest meets the northern slopes of the Ra River Mountains. This 2001 revision of the local topography captures a landscape defined by seasonal water and small-scale resource extraction. The community at Yost is documented here as a site, with the Yost Cem nearby serving as a primary landmark for genealogists and local historians.

Canyons such as Hand Canyon and Browns Canyon carve through the southern peaks, while numerous water sources like Callahan Spring and Blyth Spring are noted across the valley floor. The map highlights a history of prospecting and mining, with several Adits, Prospects, and a Quarry scattered near George Creek and Johnson Creek. This survey provides a record of the remote borderlands before 21st-century changes, documenting the exact locations of family-named landmarks and historical infrastructure.
