About this map

Higham Peak and Garden Peak dominate this corner of Bingham County, where the high country is defined by a network of drainage creeks and historical trails. The small settlement of Alridge sits near the eastern edge, positioned where Cedar Cr meets the larger drainage systems. The landscape is marked by the rugged transit of the Portneuf Presto Trail Rd, which winds across the high ridges, suggesting a long history of passage through these mountains.

Water sources are vital in this terrain, as evidenced by the namesake Wolverine Canyon in the north and the isolated Cove Spring. The southern reaches are carved by S Fork Cold Cr and N Fork Cold Cr, alongside the specifically named Deadman Rd, reflecting the often-perilous nature of travel and ranching in the high Idaho desert. The Blackfoot River flows through the northeastern corner, providing a primary hydrological anchor for the local trails and ranch roads.
