2017 Map of Dairy Creek

About this map

Dairy Creek marks a high-altitude intersection of Idaho's southern ranching and forest lands, where the boundaries of Bannock, Oneida, and Power counties converge. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent canyons and drainages, including Harold Johns Canyon and Mine Canyon, which cut through the Pleasantview Hills. In the eastern portion of the quadrangle, the Caribou National Forest covers the uplands, while the valley floor is etched by the seasonal paths of Dairy Cr and Indian Mill Cr. Water remains the primary driver of settlement and land use in this arid terrain, evidenced by named water sources such as Cowley Spring and Little Malad Spring. The network of rural routes like Dairy Creek Rd and Daniels Ranch Rd highlights the area's continued reliance on livestock grazing and mountain access.
