2011 Map of Blanchard Ranch

About this map

Blanchard Ranch and Archambeault Ranch anchor this Valley County landscape, illustrating the extensive water management systems essential for high-plains ranching. The map reveals an intricate network of man-made features designed to capture seasonal runoff, including the Archambeault Retention Reservoir, Jack Rabbit Reservoir, and Mud Run Reservoir. These are supported by structures like the Whodiky Dam and Archambeault Retention Dam. The terrain is defined by broad drainages such as Willow Creek and Sage Hen Creek, which traverse the wide Archambeault Flats. Industrial presence is noted at the Baldy Pit, while the local road network is largely defined by the namesake Willow Creek Rd and Aitken Rd, which provide access to remote ranching outposts and seasonal water bodies like Dry Lake.
