About this map

Blackfoot Reservoir dominates this high-altitude volcanic landscape at the edge of the Blackfoot Range. Surveyed before World War I, the map captures a period of early 20th-century water management and ranching. The presence of the Blackfoot Dam Road and Blackfoot Bridge indicates a developing infrastructure to control the Blackfoot River, while the surrounding terrain is defined by dramatic geological features like China Hat, Broken Crater, and the expansive Blackfoot Lava Field.

For genealogists and local historians, the sheet identifies several early family homesteads including Perkins Ranch, Doulls Ranch, and Woodall Ranch. The settlement of Henry sits near the Little Blackfoot River and Meadow Creek, providing a focal point for the community in this corner of Idaho. From the high peaks of Camp Pk on Pelican Ridge to the thermal activity at Warm Spring, the topography reflects a land shaped by both volcanic fire and irrigation projects.
