2017 Map of Black Pine

About this map

Black Pine stands as the central landmark in this remote section of Oneida County, where the high desert terrain of the Juniper Valley meets the southern expanse of the Curlew Valley. The landscape is defined by a series of critical water sources, including Stone Spring, Black Pine Spring, Bench Spring, and Anderson Spring, which suggest the historic importance of reliable water for livestock and travel in this arid environment. Transportation through this part of southern Idaho is marked by rugged routes such as E Dry Canyon Rd and the Nat For Dev Rd 198, which navigate the slopes near Cow Canyon. This survey illustrates a quiet corner of the Intermountain West where the placement of Higley Spring and Rose Spring remains essential to understanding the local geography and land use patterns of the era.
