About this map

The Malad River corridor anchors this 2011 survey of the border region between Idaho and Utah. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the irrigated valley floor and the rising slopes of the Malad Range to the east. Small settlements such as Woodruff and Cherry Creek sit along the path of S Old Highway 191, reflecting a rural settlement pattern that follows the water sources flowing out of the mountains.

Water management is central to this high-desert environment, evidenced by the Weston Creek Reservoir in the northeast and numerous named springs like Red Knoll Spring and Deer House Spring. Local landmarks such as the Race Track and Dry Creek Campground indicate the recreational and social hubs of the community, while the presence of Sheep Dip Hollow and Burnett Canyon points to a history of livestock ranching and agriculture that continues to shape the local geography.
