About this map

Bannock Peak and White Quartz Mtn dominate this high-elevation terrain in Power County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainages and named ridges. The map reveals a legacy of water management and livestock grazing across the public lands, marked by features such as the Upper Stump Canyon Reservoir and scattered water sources like Bannock Spring, Cabin Springs, and Dry Hollow Spring. These reliable points of water were essential for the settlers and ranchers who moved through Jim Brown Pass or worked the timber along Sawmill Cr.

The topography is etched with numerous named canyons, including Pete Lish Canyon, Buck Canyon, and Hutchinson Canyon, leading down to broader areas like Howard Flat and Warner Flat. These labels suggest a history of localized naming by early residents and surveyors. Farther south, the terrain transitions into the complex branching systems of Knox Canyon and Dry Canyon, highlighting the geological character of this Idaho mountain range.
