1917 Map of Cranes Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Cranes Flat and the high ridges of the Caribou Range dominate this Idaho landscape as surveyed in the early twentieth century. The map centers on a high-altitude ranching and drainage system where Homer Creek and Cranes Creek feed into broader basins like Outlet Valley. Evidence of early pioneer land use is found at the isolated Hancock Ranch, while the southern reaches show the early footprint of the Blackfoot River Reservoir along the Blackfoot River. The topography is defined by dramatic peaks including Sheep Mountain, Limerock Mtn, and Sugarloaf Mtn. This survey captures the region's hydrography before modern water management significantly altered the high desert basins, showing the natural course of Willow Creek and the seasonal Meadow Creek as they navigate the complex divides between Bonneville, Bingham, and Caribou counties.
