2001 Map of Basin

USGS Topo · Published 2006

About this map

Oakley and Basin anchor the landscape of Cassia County, Idaho, in this revision reflecting conditions at the turn of the 21st century. The map details an environment defined by the transition from settled agricultural grid-lines to the complex drainage systems of Middle Mountain. Water management is prominent throughout the terrain, from the Aqueduct and Canal systems near Oakley to the natural flow of Bitch Creek and Mill Creek. The eastern portion is dominated by the Sawtooth National Forest, where the topography rises sharply toward features like Camel Rock. Economic activity is evident in the numerous resource extraction sites scattered across the hills, including the Fish Creek Quarry and several other Quarries and Prospect sites. Local history and genealogy are preserved through the identification of the Basin Cem and the smaller Cem near the township lines, marking early settlement patterns in this part of Southern Idaho.
