1979 Map of Paddelford Flat

About this map

Paddelford Flat dominates this Idaho landscape, characterized by expansive Lava flows that define the local topography. This 1970s survey illustrates a specialized high-desert ranching and resource-extraction economy, marked by the presence of Huff Creek Corral and another unnamed corral near the northern spring. Water sources are critical in this arid environment, evidenced by Wheatly Pond, Huff Lake, and the ephemeral Paddelford Flat Lake. Thermal activity is noted at the Hot Spring near the eastern margin, while transportation is limited to High Hill Road and various Jeep Trails cutting through the volcanic terrain. Industrial activity is visible through several scattered Gravel Pits and a Borrow Pit, reflecting the area's utility during the mid-to-late 20th century.
