2024 Map of Browns Bench South

About this map

The high desert landscape along the Idaho and Nevada border defines this survey, where the rugged terrain of the Browns Bench plateau overlooks the deep waters of the Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir. This high-altitude drainage system is marked by a complex network of canyons, including North Canyon, Middle Canyon, and Deer Canyon, which funnel seasonal runoff toward the reservoir. Distinctive geological landmarks like China Mtn, Player Butte, and the appropriately named Steamboat rise above the surrounding flats, providing essential navigational points for those traversing the borderlands between Twin Falls County and Elko County.
