2011 Map of Blue Hill

About this map

Goose Creek flows through this high-desert drainage of Cassia County, carving a central corridor that defines the local ranching and transit patterns. The terrain is marked by numerous water sources vital for livestock and settlement, including Poulton Spring and Wilson Spring in the northern reaches, and Worthington Spring to the southeast. The landscape is deeply etched by canyons and gulches, notably Day Canyon and Devine Canyon, which provide natural conduits for backcountry roads like Goose Creek Rd and Coal Bank Rd. Evidence of the area's agricultural heritage is found in the naming of Double Diamond Ranch Rd, while the prominent Blue Hill serves as a central landmark overlooking Blue Hill Creek. This survey captures the essential hydrography and primitive road network of the Idaho backcountry at the start of the 21st century.
