About this map

Curlew National Grassland dominates the eastern portion of this landscape, where the high desert terrain of Oneida County meets the foothills of the Sublett Range. The map reveals a high-altitude drainage network centered around Meadow Brook Cr, flowing through the prominent clearing known as The Meadows and its associated topographical feature, The Meadows Divide.

Reliable water sources define the human and natural history of this arid region, evidenced by numerous named watering points including Badger Hole Spring, Huffman Springs, and Salyer Spring. Local travel is constrained by the landform, with routes like N Canyon Rd and Cow Canyon Rd following the natural breaks of North Canyon and Cow Canyon, illustrating how the geology of the Sublett Range has dictated passage through this corner of southern Idaho.
