About this map

The Deep Creek Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in southern Idaho, where the high ridges are incised by a series of deep drainages. The Power Co Oneida Co line runs through the northern reaches of this territory, dividing the high country. Small-scale human interventions in this remote environment are limited to cattle ranching and resource extraction, evidenced by a Corral and a Gravel Pit near the small settlement of Cedarhill.

Water management is the primary driver of development here, with numerous Springs and a Water Tank strategically placed to support livestock in the arid terrain. Natural water features like the South Fork and Pine Spring provide the necessary moisture for the area's deep ravines, including Goddard Canyon and Hillhouse Canyon. Connectivity across the mountain slopes is maintained through a network of rugged roads, simply labeled as Jeep Trail.
