2020 Map of Alexander

About this map

Alexander sits at a historic crossroads in Caribou County, where the legacy of westward migration meets the industrial development of the Bear River. This modern survey illustrates the enduring geography of the Oregon Trail Rd and Hudspeths Cutoff Rd, which pass through the Upper Valley toward the volcanic features of the north. The landscape is defined by the Alexander Reservoir, created by the damming of the river near Soda Point, where the Soda Point Power Plant Rd indicates the localized utility of the waterway. To the north, the terrain shifts into the Soda Springs Hills and the Blackfoot Lava Field, showing the geologically active nature of the region. Water remains a central theme, with numerous natural outlets like Big Spring, Chandler Spring, and Steamboat Spring dotting the base of ridges such as the Ninety Percent Range and Long Ridge.
