About this map

Mountain Home Air Force Base occupies a significant portion of the eastern landscape in this 2013 survey, with its northwestern infrastructure including Liberator St and Cedar St visible. The terrain is defined by the high desert of the Snake River Plain, where the Snake River forms the southern boundary at the junction of Elmore and Owyhee counties. The drainage pattern is marked by intermittent waterways such as Squaw Creek and Canyon Creek, which flow toward the river through a region characterized by section lines and desert tracks.

Transportation through this high-desert expanse is anchored by Simco Rd, which cuts north-south through the center of the sheet. The map details the transition between Ada and Elmore counties, illustrating the relationship between military land use and the open ranching or grazing lands common to this part of southern Idaho. Local markers like Gravel Pit Rd and McCall Rd indicate the industrial and access points serving the sparse population in this area north of the river corridor.
