2023 Map of Chokecherry Canyon

About this map

Jim Sage Mountains dominate the northwestern horizon of this high-desert landscape in Cassia County. The terrain transitions from these heights through Chokecherry Canyon and down into the broad Raft River Valley. The water system is central to the area's geography, featuring the Raft River itself and several seasonal drainages like Onemile Creek and Holt Creek. To the south, the Bally Mountains rise again, framing the Upper Raft River Valley near a geological constriction known as The Narrows. For genealogists and local historians, the Standrod Cem in the southeastern corner serves as a vital anchor for tracing the families who settled this arid basin. The network of local routes, including Standrod Rd and E Strevell Rd, follows the valley floor, connecting the scattered springs and water sources like Womack Canyon Spring that supported ranching in this corner of Idaho.
