About this map

The Blackfoot River winds through this high-elevation corner of Bingham County, tracing a path beneath the Blackfoot Mountains and the prominent Blue Ridge. This landscape is defined by its drainage network, with numerous seasonal and perennial flows like Miner Creek, Trail Cr, and Mackelroy Cr cutting through the terrain. The presence of the Trail Creek Bridge and the winding Blackfoot River Rd indicates the primary corridors of movement through these uplands.

Transportation routes are deeply influenced by the topography, as seen in the alignment of the Portneuf Presto Trail Rd and Cedar Creek Rd. These roads follow the natural contours of the land, connecting the ridges to the river valley. The map documents a specific moment in the modern management of these Idaho lands, showcasing the intersection of public land survey boundaries and the natural geography of High Basin.
