About this map

Chesterfield and the surrounding agricultural lands of Caribou County are defined by a complex irrigation network and the high terrain of the Fish Creek Range. The settlement of Chesterfield sits near the Chesterfield Cemetery, while further south, the community of Kinport is situated along Old Highway 30. The hydrologic character of the basin is shaped by the Portneuf River and its numerous tributaries, including Eighteenmile Creek and Twentyfour Mile Creek.

Water management is central to this landscape, evidenced by the Portneuf Marsh Valley Irrigation Company Feeder Canal and the Kelly-Toponce Ditch. The transition from the valley floor to the uplands is marked by geographic features like Higginson Canyon and Deer Canyon. Local landmarks such as Grimm Springs and Orman Spring indicate the critical role of groundwater in this part of southeastern Idaho, while family-named roads like Hansen Road and Nipper Road trace the boundaries of rural properties.
