About this map

The Big Wood River serves as the central artery for this portion of the Wood River Valley, dictating the settlement patterns of Hailey and Bellevue. To the west of these towns, the terrain rises into a series of named gulches and ridges that reflect the region's mining and ranching heritage, including Minnie Moore Gulch and Croesus Gulch. A complex network of irrigation infrastructure is evident, with the Hiawatha Canal, Cove Canal, and Bypass Canal channeling water across the landscape toward agricultural sites like Poverty Flat.

Transportation and utility are represented by the Sluder Airstrip on the flats south of Broadford and the Wood River Path connecting the primary towns. Geologic landmarks such as Gilman Butte, Rattler Butte, and Horse Collar Rock provide distinctive navigation points in the high country. The map also records localized water sources like Bannon Spring and the Poverty Flat Reservoir, essential for the high-desert environment of southern Idaho.
