2020 Map of Co-op Spring

About this map

Curlew National Grassland dominates the western portion of this landscape, marking a protected expanse of the high desert along the Idaho border. This 2020 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region of Box Elder County defined by water management and topographic relief. The North Hansel Mountains rise sharply in the center of the sheet, dividing the terrain between the expansive Pocatello Valley to the east and the drainages of Taylor Canyon and Stark Canyon to the north. Resource management is central to the area's layout, seen in the placement of Co-op Spring and the Curlew Valley Reservoir, which provide critical water points in an otherwise arid environment. This map captures the modern rural infrastructure of the basin, where local routes like Ireland Canyon Rd and Allen Rd connect isolated ranching or conservation lands across the state line into Oneida County.
