2017 Map of Driggs

About this map

The Driggs townsite sits at the heart of the Teton Basin, serving as a central hub for this high valley along the Idaho-Wyoming border. This 2017 study illustrates the intersection of small-town development and the immense wilderness of the Targhee National Forest, which dominates the eastern half of the map. Traces of the region's agricultural and civil foundations are evident in the Cherry Grove Canal and the Kimball Canal, critical water management features for the basin's ranching and farming operations. The landscape is a transition from the grid-patterned streets of the valley floor to the rising slopes of the Teton Range, marked by drainages like Darby Creek and Fox Creek. Local history is anchored by sites such as the Driggs-Darby Cemetery and the Driggs-Reed Memorial Airport, while smaller clusters of settlement are identified at Darby, Alta, and Chapin.
