2017 Map of Balanced Rock

About this map

Salmon Falls Creek carves a deep, winding path through this corner of Twin Falls County, serving as the dominant geographic feature in an arid landscape defined by the Bruneau Desert. The namesake Balanced Rock stands as a geological landmark near the creek's canyon walls, while the surrounding high plains are etched with an organized grid of county roads and vital irrigation infrastructure. The transition from the dry plateau to the riparian corridor is sharp, marked by landmarks like Sinking Canyon and Sunset Butte.
