2011 Map of Skunk Creek Summit

About this map

Alpha Grange and the nearby Alpha Cemetery mark the agricultural and social centers of this Valley County landscape. The area is defined by a network of water management features, including the Warren Diversion Dam and several reservoirs like Corral Creek Reservoir and Herrick Reservoir. These water bodies are fed by numerous mountain streams such as Big Creek, Little Horsethief Creek, and Skunk Creek, which flow through the high-elevation terrain near Skunk Creek Summit. The map shows a complex system of forest and local roads, including Gold Dust Rd, W Prospectors Dr, and Ole Ranch Rd, which suggest a history of mining and ranching. The presence of multiple dams, such as Pitkin Dam and Corral Creek Dam, highlights the essential role of water control in sustaining the local economy and environment in this part of Idaho.
