2017 Map of Chesterfield

About this map

Chesterfield sits at the northern edge of this high-elevation agricultural landscape, where the Portneuf River and several of its tributaries wind through a valley defined by irrigation and early transport routes. The presence of the Portneuf Marsh Valley Irrigation Company Feeder Canal and smaller systems like the Downey Canal and Kelly-Toponce Ditch illustrates the vital role of water management in sustaining these Idaho ranching lands. Settlement patterns are sparse, anchored by the town of Kinport in the south and the notable Chesterfield Cemetery near the northern border. Family and place names are preserved in the road network, which includes Kelly Toponce Rd, Shipley Rd, and Miles Rd, tracing historical property boundaries and connection points between the canyons and the open valley floor. Natural features like Higginson Canyon and Orman Spring mark the edges of this managed water landscape.
