About this map

Cedar Cr Reservoir serves as a central landmark in this high-desert landscape of Twin Falls County, where water sources dictated the placement of early homesteads and grazing lands. The map records several named ranching sites including Anderson Place, Bergstrom Place, and Indian Jim Place, reflecting a history of land use tied to specific families and individuals. These sites are situated among a topography defined by significant drainages such as Cedar Cr and House Cr, which carve through the high flats.

Transportation through this arid terrain follows established routes like Three Creek Rd and House Creek Rd, connecting the scattered plains. Notable natural features like John Boyd Flat and Goose Pasture indicate the primary agricultural use of the land, while geologic points such as Cedar Butte and the steep Monument Canyon provide vertical relief. Vital water points including Mauldin Springs and Clark Spring are also identified, highlighting the essential resources required for sustaining life and livestock in the Idaho backcountry.
