About this map

Moody Meadow and the surrounding high country of Madison County are defined by a complex network of drainage basins and ridges in this 2011 survey. The landscape is carved by prominent watercourses like Calamity Creek, Canyon Creek, and Ruby Creek, which flow through deeply recessed terrain such as Coalmine Canyon and Beartrap Canyon. Evidence of the area's geological and hydrological character is found in the many named water sources, including Bex Spring and Graham Spring.

High elevation points like Prospect Peak, Twin Peaks, and the Farnes Mountain range provide significant landmarks overlooking Thousand Springs Valley. Transportation through these high ridges is limited to designated routes like Canyon Creek Rd and Long Hollow Rd. The naming of features such as Argument Ridge and Kirkham Hollow suggests a history of local geographic identification and land usage in this part of Idaho.
