2013 Map of Michaud Creek

About this map

Arbon Valley occupies the heart of this landscape, where agricultural infrastructure and rugged terrain meet at the border of Caribou National Forest. The map documents a complex system of water management essential for high-elevation farming, featuring the Toghee Canal, School Lateral, and the Two Ditch system. These irrigation works channel water toward the Bannock Creek Farm Station Rd, illustrating the intensive land use in this part of Power and Bannock Counties. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward Howard Mtn and the numerous springs of the national forest, including Wildcat Spring and Outlaw Spring. The presence of landmarks like Eagletail Rock and isolated water sources like Horse Lake highlights the remote character of this Idaho backcountry in the early 21st century.
