1949 Map of Lower Valley

About this map

The Caribou Range and the winding Blackfoot River dominate this Idaho landscape, where high-altitude ranching and mineral exploration define the terrain. Established family holdings including the Stocking Ranch, Fox Ranch, and Allen Ranch are distributed along the valley floors, linked by the Blackfoot River Road. This 1949 survey illustrates the early industrial footprint in the Caribou National Forest, featuring the Blackfoot River Railroad and several Prospects scattered across the ridges. The complex drainage of the Lower Blackfoot Valley is captured here in detail, showing how Slug Creek and Dry Valley Cr feed into the river system. This map is an essential resource for tracing the mid-century agricultural and industrial development of the Enoch Valley and Wooley Valley regions.
