2017 Map of Pocatello South

About this map

Idaho State University and the urban grid of southern Pocatello anchor the northern edge of this 2017 survey, where the city meets the rising terrain of the Pocatello Range. The transition from the developed valley near the Portneuf River to the protected wildlands of the Caribou National Forest is clearly visible. The map documents an extensive network of drainage systems, including Johnny Creek, Gibson Jack Creek, and Mink Creek, which carve through the high-elevation landmarks of Kinport Peak and Wild Mountain. For the local historian, the map details the layout of Mountain View Cemetery and the southern expansion of the street system along Pocatello Ave. To the south, the landscape becomes increasingly remote, reaching the Wild Horse Divide and Slate Mountain near the Power and Bannock County line.
