1951 Map of Lower Valley

About this map

The Blackfoot River winds through this Idaho landscape, carving a path between the Wooley Range and the prominent Schmid Ridge. This mid-century survey illustrates a ranching-heavy corridor, where family holdings such as the Stocking Ranch, Fox Ranch, and W Steadman Ranch define the land use patterns along the valley floor. The influence of the Caribou National Forest is evident across the eastern ridges, while numerous scattered Springs provide critical water sources for the livestock operations in Enoch Valley and Lower Valley. Cultural landmarks include several benchmarks like BM 6340 and Grain Tanks near the Allen Ranch, marking the infrastructure of this high-elevation agricultural community. The map also records early extractive activity with labels for a Gravel Pit and several Prospects near the southern bend of the river.
