About this map

The settlement of Chesterfield stands at the heart of this Idaho landscape, where the high desert meets a complex network of agricultural irrigation. In the early 21st century, the region's character is defined by the Portneuf River and its various tributaries and diversions, including the Portneuf Marsh Valley Irrigation Company Feeder Canal and Downey Canal. These water systems, alongside Toponce Cr and Eighteenmile Cr, support the rural life and ranching economy of Caribou County.

Evidence of early territorial management is visible through features like the Kelly Toponce Ditch and family-named landmarks such as Higginson Canyon. Genealogy researchers can locate the Chesterfield Cem near the town center, while natural springs like Grim Springs and Orman Spring punctuate the arid terrain. The map also delineates the northern edge of the Kinport area and the entrance to the Caribou National Forest Road.
