2020 Map of Ridgedale Pass

About this map

Pocatello Valley and Blue Creek Valley meet at the strategic notch of Ridgedale Pass, providing a clear view of the high-desert topography in northern Box Elder County. This 2020 survey details the transition from the broad, lower basin of Blue Cr to the elevated northern valley, bounded to the east by the significant terrain of the West Hills. The map traces a systematic grid of rural access roads, such as 25000 N RD and 21600 N RD, which navigate the wide-open valley floor between dramatic breaks in the landscape like Portage Canyon and the Left Hand Fork Middle Canyon. A notable cultural feature is the Indian Trl skirting the southeastern slopes, suggesting a long-standing movement corridor through this mountain-and-basin province.
