About this map

City of Rocks dominates the central landscape of this Cassia County survey, where the Albion Mountains meet the high desert. This area, protected within the City of Rocks National Reserve, is characterized by dramatic geological formations with descriptive names like Steinfells Dome, Elephant Rock, and Bread Loaves. The settlement of Almo sits at the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a gateway to the basin drained by Almo Creek and the Raft River.

Evidence of historical passage is written into the terrain, most notably at Register Rock and along the southern corridor of Emigrant Canyon. These features, along with Pinnacle Pass, highlight the significance of this mountain gap for travelers moving west through the Twin Sisters and Indian Grove. The northern boundary reaches into the Sawtooth National Forest near Graham Peak, illustrating a complex geography of national preserves and forested highlands.
