About this map

Driggs and Victor anchor this mid-century look at the Teton Valley, where agricultural development and high mountain wilderness meet. The valley floor is defined by a complex network of irrigation canals, including the Humble Canal, Spencer Canal, and String Canal, which diverted water from the Teton River to support local ranching. The Union Pacific railroad corridor runs north-south, featuring the San Diego Spur near Driggs.

Social infrastructure of the rural community is visible through numerous country schools like Bates Sch, Chapin Sch, and Cedron Sch, alongside the Darby Ch and the Driggs Cem. To the west, the landscape rises into the Targhee National Forest, marked by the elevations of Garns Mountain and Mahogany Ridge, while the eastern boundary traces the rugged Idaho-Wyoming state line near the foothills of the Tetons.
