2020 Map of Blanchard Ranch

About this map

Blanchard Ranch and the level expanse of Archambeault Flats anchor this portion of Valley County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of water management features. Numerous small reservoirs, including Aitken Reservoir, Jack Rabbit Reservoir, and Road Reservoir, indicate the critical role of water storage in this cattle-ranching region. The drainage patterns of Willow Cr, Coyote Cr, and Sage Hen Cr carve through the terrain, leading toward larger catchments like the Archambeault Detention Reservoir. Human activity is primarily centered around livestock and limited resource extraction, evidenced by the Baldy Pit and the long stretches of Willow Creek Rd and Maxness Rd that cross the townships. This 2020 record captures a sparsely populated, high-plains environment focused on land stewardship and seasonal water control.
