1924 Map of Hell Creek

About this map

The small settlement of Dehlin and its namesake Dehlin School anchor this 1924 survey of the Idaho high country. Located on the border of Bonneville and Bingham Counties, the landscape is defined by the sharp transition from ranching and farming valleys to the timbered slopes of the Caribou National Forest. The Boise Base Line runs through the heart of the map, serving as a critical survey marker for the region's development. This era shows a network of rural education, with the Pipe Creek School serving families near the headwaters of Bear Creek. The rugged geography includes notable landmarks such as Castle Rock and the extensive Fall Creek Basin, which provided a natural hub for early resource management at the Hell Creek Ranger Sta. High points like Mt Baldy and Skelly Hill overlook a complex drainage system of creeks including Indian Fork and Bulls Creek, which were vital for irrigation and livestock in the early twentieth century.
