About this map

Meadow Creek Mtn anchors the southeastern corner of this Bingham and Caribou county landscape, where the high ridges of the Blackfoot Mountains meet the northern waters of the Blackfoot Reservoir. This 2020 survey reveals a complex geological transition, from the Willow Creek Lava Field in the north to the dramatic depression of the Meteor Hole further south. The map documents a rugged high-altitude environment shaped by seasonal water and volcanic history, characterized by vast flats like Cranes Flat and Wilson Flat.

Remote access is primarily managed through a network of rural routes including Bone Rd and Government Dam Rd. The reservoir area is particularly detailed, showing local landmarks such as Poison Creek Island and Nettle Island, providing a precise look at the shoreline before the Blackfoot River continues its course westward. For the local historian, the names preserved here—from Moses Pass to the scattered drainage of Pack Saddle Cr—reflect a long history of ranching and navigation through this high-country terrain.
