About this map

Flatiron Hill stands as a prominent elevation in this corner of Power County, where the eastern slopes of the Arbon Valley meet the high country of the Caribou National Forest. The landscape is defined by a series of drainages and springs that supported ranching and irrigation, such as the Pevo Ditch and Woods Ditch. These man-made features diverted water from perennial sources like Bannock Cr to the thirsty valley floor.

A network of backcountry roads, including Arbon Valley Rd and Rattlesnake Rd, provides access to the numerous springs dotting the terrain, from Warm Spring to Watercress Spring. The geography reflects a high-desert environment where water management was essential, shown through the names of Officer Spring and Pevo Spring, which likely served as vital stopovers for travel and livestock through the rugged Idaho interior.
