2010 Map of Paddock Valley Reservoir

About this map

Paddock Valley Reservoir dominates this landscape in northern Payette County, formed by the Paddock Valley Dam along Little Willow Creek. The surrounding territory is characterized by a series of named drainage basins and upland flats that reflect the area's ranching and water-management history. To the north, the Soulen Reservoir and Upper Soulen Ranch Rd indicate the importance of water storage in this arid environment. Significant landforms like Little Willow Flat and McCullough Gulch provide geographic context for local researchers and genealogists interested in this corner of Idaho. The map also detailes numerous smaller tributaries including Indian Creek, Rattlesnake Creek, and the isolated Flag Spring, which were vital markers in the development of the region's rural road network, represented here by Four Mile Rd and Paddock Valley Rd.
