About this map

The Blackfoot River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, cutting past the Bingham and Caribou County line. The terrain is defined by the high elevations of the Blackfoot Mountains and the broad expanse of Paradise Valley, an area marked by a sophisticated network of water sources including Heaton Spring, Brush Creek, and Garden Creek. Fine red dashed lines throughout the quadrangle indicate numerous fence and field lines, reflecting the land-use patterns of the early 1980s.

Evidence of small-scale extraction is visible in several prospects scattered through the hills, while recreational interests are anchored by the Grave Creek Campground and Sagehen Campground along the river. Distinctive landmarks like Paradise Hills and Smiley Canyon provide navigational context to a region shaped by both its drainage systems and local agricultural infrastructure, such as the Storage Bins located in the valley center.
