About this map

Curlew National Grassland dominates the northeastern landscape of this Idaho quadrangle, where the Sublett Range carves a distinctive topography across Oneida County. Water is the primary architect of the local geography, defined by a network of isolated water sources like Quaking Asp Spring, Salyer Spring, and the namesake Badger Hole Spring. These features are vital landmarks in a high-desert environment, serving as historical touchstones for those navigating the canyons and meadows of the region.

Transportation routes through the area are etched into the terrain, following the natural contours of Hay Canyon and North Canyon. The eastern edge of the map transitions into The Meadows, a flatter expanse bordered by The Meadows Divide and fed by Meadow Brook Creek. This survey illustrates a modern snapshot of public lands where grazing and land management persist alongside geologic features like Cow Canyon and Little Rock Spring.
