2023 Map of Paddelford Flat

About this map

Craters Of The Moon National Preserve occupies the southern half of this landscape, marking a transition from the volcanic features of the south to the foothills of the Pioneer Mountains in the north. The geography is defined by its arid character and seasonal hydrology, where the High-line Canal and Fish Creek provide critical water management for the region. Central to the map is the expanse of Paddelford Flat and its associated Paddelford Flat Lake, which sit at the heart of a remote network of range roads including Laidlaw Park Rd and Kamimah Rd. Small catchments and isolated water sources like Wheatly Pond and Huff Lake illustrate the sparse but vital water distribution across this high desert terrain in Blaine County.
