About this map

Little Valley is the primary settlement focal point in this high-altitude landscape where Bonneville, Bingham, and Caribou counties meet. The terrain is defined by a series of distinct plateaus and mountain ridges, including Cranes Flat, Crooked Creek Flat, and Chubb Flat, which are interspersed between prominent elevations like Limerock Mtn and Wilson Ridge. These level flats likely served as key grazing or agricultural areas within the more complex topography of the Little Valley Hills.

Water resources are centered around the Little Valley Reservoir and an intricate drainage system featuring Peterson Cr, Meadow Cr, and Jones Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates the remote character of eastern Idaho, where land use is dictated by the dramatic rises of Little Gray Ridge and the necessary passage through features like Clarks Cut. The map captures the quiet, rural intersection of these three counties, showing how early ranching or settlement patterns followed the reliable water of the valley floors.
