1951 Map of Higham Peak

About this map

The Fort Hall Indian Reservation landscape is defined by its rugged elevations and a critical network of natural and engineered water sources. Surveyed in the early 1950s, the terrain rises to prominent heights at Higham Peak and Garden Peak, serving as a backdrop for the winding course of the Blackfoot River. The presence of the Little Indian Ditch in the northern sector highlights early water management efforts within the reservation, supporting the local geography alongside numerous natural features like Cove Spring and Cold Creek. Historical movement through these mountains is marked by established paths such as the Portneuf Presto Trail and the Wood Creek Trail, which provide insight into the connectivity and transportation routes used by residents and travelers across Bingham County during this era.
