2017 Map of Ridgedale Pass

About this map

Pocatello Valley and Blue Creek Valley form the primary geographic focus of this northern Utah landscape, where high-elevation basins are separated by the prominent Ridgedale Pass. The area is characterized by a high-desert drainage system, most notably the seasonal course of Blue Cr and the complex relief of the surrounding West Hills. The terrain is deeply incised by several named drainages, including Broad Canyon, West Hills Portage Canyon, and Left Hand Fork Middle Canyon. A sparse network of range roads and the historic Indian Trl highlight the intersection of traditional routes and modern land management in this portion of Box Elder County. The cartography emphasizes the intricate contouring of the ridges and the specific township and range divisions that govern the land use across this part of the Intermountain West.
