About this map

Clawson and Alta anchor this 2020 landscape along the border of Idaho and Wyoming, where the high-altitude agriculture of the Teton Basin meets the western edge of the Targhee National Forest. The map reveals a complex network of irrigation infrastructure essential to this region's valley floor, including the Haden Canal, Kilpack Canal, Center Canal, and the Edison and Ricks Canal. These waterways crisscross a grid of rural ranch roads, such as Badger Creek Ranch Rd and Wydaho Ranch Trl.

Transitioning from the valley to the mountains, the terrain rises sharply toward Commissary Ridge and Dry Ridge. Notable landmarks for local historians and land researchers include the Pratt Cem near Alta and family-named features like Wiggleton Hollow and Peaked Solitude. The drainage patterns of N Leigh Cr and S Leigh Cr illustrate the geographic relationship between the forest peaks and the fertile basin below.
