2010 Map of Coonrod Gulch

About this map

Butte Ranch serves as a lone human waypoint in this high-desert drainage system within Payette County, Idaho. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several significant watercourses, including Big Willow Creek and North Crane Creek, which carve through the distinct topography of Willow Ridge and Davis Canyon. Small-scale water management is evident at Little Dam, while natural water sources like French Spring and Mossman Spring indicate the critical locations of water in this semi-arid environment. The eastern portion of the survey is dominated by the depressed terrain of Coonrod Gulch and Coonrod Basin. These features, along with the network of unpaved corridors such as N Crane Rd and Big Flat Rd, illustrate the remote ranching and grazing infrastructure typical of the Idaho backcountry at the start of the 21st century.
