1965 Map of Buckhorn Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

The Sawtooth National Forest dominates this section of Cassia County, where the high-elevation landscape is defined by a series of dramatic canyons and ridges. Settlers and ranchers established footholds at the Buckhorn Ranch and Warm Creek Ranch, while the inclusion of the Buckhorn Substation and an Aqueduct indicates the mid-20th-century development of water and power infrastructure. Local history and genealogy interest is anchored by a lone Cem and isolated landmarks like Franks, alongside several springs such as Whiskey Spring and Tub Spring. The map documents a transition from the wilder terrain of Robber Gulch and Little Canyon to the more managed plains marked by Gravel Pits and a network of Ditch lines. Transportation in the higher reaches remains limited to a Pack Trail and 4WD tracks, emphasizing the area's isolation during the 1960s.
