2013 Map of Skunk Creek Summit

About this map

Alpha sits on the edge of the Long Valley at the foot of the North Fork Range, serving as a focal point for this rural Idaho landscape. The map details the transition from valley floor settlements to the high country of the Boise National Forest, where the terrain rises toward Skunk Creek Summit. Local history and community life are grounded at the Alpha Grange and the nearby Alpha Cem, while names like Gold Dust Rd, Nugget Dr, and W Prospectors Dr suggest a legacy of mineral exploration in the hills above Big Cr. Water resources are central to the area's development, evidenced by the Corral Creek Reservoir, East Mountain Reservoir, and the Herrick Reservoir Public Fishing Area. A dense network of forest roads, including Clear Creek Rd and Warner Pond Rd, provides access to these high-altitude watersheds and timberlands.
