About this map

Long Valley forms the heart of this Valley County landscape, where the town of Lake Fork serves as a central point for a complex network of agricultural irrigation. The terrain is defined by an extensive system of man-made waterways, including the Lake Irrigation District Canal, Roseberry Ditch, and Mahala Ditch, which redirect water from the Lake Fork river and Boulder Creek to support the surrounding valley floor. This infrastructure reveals the long-standing reliance on water management in the region's development.

Evidence of early rural settlement is visible in the presence of the Finn Cem and Bell Cem, alongside small historic clusters like Norwood and Archabal. The transition from valley floor to higher elevations is marked by Timber Ridge and Bear Gulch to the east. Aviation history is noted by private airfields such as the Flying A Ranch Airport and Splan Airport, reflecting the logistical needs of this inland Idaho territory.
