1977 Map of Browns Bench South

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir dominates the eastern edge of this high-desert landscape on the Idaho-Nevada border. This mid-1970s topography highlights a network of remote homesteads and named camps scattered across Browns Bench, including the China Creek Ranch, Hartzell Place, and Duncan Place. These family-named locations, often situated near vital water sources like Jim Lee Spring and Barbour Spring, illustrate the historical pattern of livestock grazing and seasonal habitation in Twin Falls County. The terrain rises sharply toward China Mtn in the west, where narrow drainages such as Deer Canyon and North Canyon cut through the bench. The map also records several remote structures such as the Mahannah Cabin and the site of Steamboat near the southern boundary, providing a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of the era.
