About this map

Alridge sits at the northern end of a landscape defined by sharp elevations and winding watercourses in this 2017 study. The area is dominated by two prominent summits, Higham Peak and Garden Peak, which overlook a complex network of drainages including the Blackfoot River and the steep walls of Wolverine Canyon. The terrain is marked by historical transit routes that follow the natural contours of the land, such as Portneuf Presto Trail Rd and Cold Creek Trail Rd.

Hydrological features are abundant throughout the quadrangle, from the flow of Cedar Cr and Red Rock Cr to the isolated Cove Spring. These water sources and trails indicate a region utilized for ranching, hunting, or recreation, where names like Deadman Rd suggest the storied history of the high Idaho backcountry. The map provides a detailed view of the sectional divisions within the Bingham County wilderness, showing how the landscape remains largely defined by its natural topography rather than dense development.
