About this map

Badger Peak anchors this high-elevation portion of the Sublett Range along the border of Power and Cassia Counties. In the north, the waters of Lake Walcott reach into the quadrangle near Lanes Gulch, while the southern reaches are defined by a network of drainage canyons including Dairy Canyon and Houtz Canyon. The terrain is marked by essential water sources for high-country activity, such as Dairy Spring and Calder Spring.

Transportation throughout this part of the Sawtooth National Forest area relies on a grid of established routes and forest roads. Names like Barkdull Rd, Georges Rd, and Benson Spring Rd trace the paths through the high basins and around the ridges. The map captures a landscape of seasonal drainages like Calder Cr and Fall Cr, illustrating the rugged, rural character of this intersection between the Snake River Plain and the Idaho mountains.
