2017 Map of Baldy Knoll

About this map

Baldy Knoll and the surrounding high ground of Lemhi Ridge dominate the landscape of Bingham County in this recent survey. The southeastern portion of the map reveals a critical agricultural corridor where the Aberdeen Springfield Canal, Peoples Canal, and Highline Ditch converge to manage water resources in this arid Idaho terrain. Near these waterways, the small settlement of McDonaldville is situated along Macdonaldville Rd, representing the primary human cluster in an area otherwise characterized by geometric township grids and rural thoroughfares like Larsen Rd and Munson Loop. The northern reaches include Morgans Pasture and several prominent landforms, including Lemhi Pass, which provides a natural break in the ridgeline. This survey illustrates the continued reliance on extensive canal systems to support habitation and land use in the high desert.
