2024 Map of Paradise Valley

About this map

The Blackfoot Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of several drainages originate. At the center of the sheet lies the high basin of Paradise Valley, a name that likely reflects the character of the terrain to early settlers. Water is the primary architect of the geography here, with the Blackfoot River cutting across the southern portion of the quadrangle. Significant water sources like Heaton Spring and the winding course of Garden Creek provide vital resources in an area defined by its significant relief, including the eastern Paradise Hills and the deep cut of Smiley Canyon.
