2020 Map of Michaud Creek

About this map

Caribou National Forest dominates the eastern hills of this Idaho landscape, where the high ridges of Howard Mtn give way to a complex drainage system feeding the Arbon Valley. In the lower elevations to the west, water management is evident through features like the Tyhee Canal and the School Lateral, highlighting the irrigation infrastructure necessary for the valley's agricultural operations. The terrain is marked by distinctive natural landmarks such as Eagletail Rock and numerous water sources including Wildcat Spring, Dead Cow Spring, and the high-elevation Horse Lake. Transportation across this Power and Bannock County border area is defined by the winding Michaud Creek Rd and the Old Arbon Hwy, which trace the base of the foothills. For those researching the area's development, the map details the network of creeks like Birch Creek and Midnight Creek that have historically shaped local land use.
