About this map

Bellevue and the nearby settlement of Broadford anchor the eastern corridor of this landscape, situated along the Big Wood River and its intricate network of irrigation channels like the Bellevue Canal and District Canal. The area is deeply marked by its mining heritage, particularly in the western gulches where numerous historical operations are documented. Significant sites such as the Minnie Moore Mine, Silver Star Queen, and the Croesus Mine point to a legacy of silver and lead extraction in the Wood River Valley.

South of the main settlements, the terrain opens into wide expanses like Sky Ranch Flat and Poverty Flat, where land use transitions toward agriculture and small-scale aviation at the Sluder Airstrip. The map also traces more remote western outposts such as Bullion, where the Hope Mine and McCoy Mine are located near Gilman Butte. This survey provides a clear view of how water management and industrial history have shaped this Idaho valley.
