2011 Map of High Valley

About this map

High Valley occupies a distinctive upland basin in Idaho as documented in this 2011 topographic survey. The area is characterized by a localized network of aviation and irrigation, featuring small private airfields like High Valley Bills Airport and Hidden Lakes Airport. Educational roots in this high-altitude landscape are centered at the High Valley School, located along High Valley Rd. The hydrology of the valley is heavily managed through a series of small-scale impoundments, including Holbrook Dam, Hidden Lake Dam, and Beal Number Three Dam, which catch the headwaters of the North Fork Little Squaw Creek. To the south, the terrain transitions at Dry Buck Summit and descends into the drainage of Dry Buck Creek. Landmarks such as Fletcher Butte and Ola Summit define the western ridges, providing a clear picture of the geographic boundaries that have shaped the settlement and ranching patterns of this part of Gem County.
