2023 Map of Bannock Peak

About this map

Bannock Peak and White Quartz Mtn anchor the high country of the Deep Creek Mountains in this Power County survey. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and named passes that reflect the area's geological and human transit history, including Jim Brown Pass and the distinctive Pete-Lish Canyon. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by the Upper Stump Canyon Reservoir and numerous high-elevation water sources such as Dry Hollow Springs and Bannock Spring. The map documents a topography of transition, where plateau-like areas like Howard Flat and Warner Flat give way to steep-walled corridors such as Stump Hollow Canyon and Waylett Canyon. These features, along with names like Tonampi-Nookwaide Creek, suggest a complex layer of local nomenclature and land use in this part of southeastern Idaho.
