About this map

Higham Peak and Garden Peak anchor this high-altitude terrain in southeastern Idaho, where a complex network of seasonal drainages and springs defines the land's utility. The small settlement at Alridge sits near the eastern edge of the quadrangle, connected to the wider region by the winding path of Blackfoot River Rd. The map illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by its hydrology, with significant water sources like Cove Spring and the converging flows of North Fork Cold Creek and South Fork Cold Creek.

Evidence of historical movement across this territory is preserved in the naming of roads and trails that follow the natural topography. The Portneuf Presto Trail Rd and Cold Creek Trail Rd bisect the area, while the evocatively named Deadman Rd skirts the southern reaches near Wood Creek. This survey provides a clear view of how high-country access was maintained through these designated corridors, linking remote peaks and springs.
