2011 Map of Ridgedale Pass

About this map

Ridgedale Pass serves as a critical geographic crossing in northern Utah, bridging the high terrain of the West Hills and the broad expanses of the Blue Creek Valley. This 2011 survey captures a landscape defined by its agricultural and transit patterns, where the drainage of Blue Creek winds southward through the valley floor. The map highlights a meticulous grid of rural routes such as 17200 W Rd and 18800 W Rd, which facilitate movement through this cattle-and-grain country. Of particular note is the Indian Trl in the southern portion of the quadrangle, suggesting long-standing travel corridors that predate the modern road system. The northern reaches transition into the Pocatello Valley, illustrating the connectivity of these high-desert basins.
