2013 Map of Coonrod Gulch

About this map

Butte Ranch sits near the southern edge of this high-desert landscape where Payette and Gem counties meet. The area is defined by a complex network of drainages and ridges, notably the prominent Willow Ridge and the deep Davis Canyon to the north. These features highlight the importance of water sources in the region, with named points such as Mossman Spring, French Spring, and Cherry Spring serving as vital landmarks for early ranchers and travelers. The primary transit route through this terrain is N Crane Rd, which winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, paralleling the course of N Crane Cr. The confluence of topographical features like Coonrod Gulch and Coonrod Basin illustrates the erosional patterns of the watershed feeding into the Big Willow Creek system, providing a clear view of the rural Idaho backcountry in the early 21st century.
