About this map

The Bear River carves through this southeastern Idaho landscape, its flow managed by both the Alexander Dam and Soda Dam. These structures create the prominent Alexander Reservoir, a central feature for the settlement of Alexander. The geography here is a complex intersection of historical transit and modern utility, where the ancient path of the Oregon Trail Rd and the Hudspeths Cutoff meet industrial water management systems like the Soda Canal.

North of the river, the terrain rises into the Soda Springs Hills and the Ninety Percent Range, divided by significant drainage features such as Robinson Draw and Ninety Percent Canyon. Local cattle ranching and recreational history are evident in the presence of the Idaho Ranch and Stampede Park, while numerous water sources like Steamboat Spring and Chandler Spring dot the valleys, underlining the vital importance of water rights in this arid corridor.
