About this map

Dairy Creek flows through this corner of Bannock County, carving a series of named canyons across the Idaho landscape. The settlement of Dairy Creek serves as a central point for a network of rural roads, including W Daniels Rd and Harold John Rd, which trace the drainage patterns of the high desert terrain. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Mount Elkhorn and several deeply cut drainages like Mine Canyon, Reed Canyon, and Tom Perry Canyon.

Water sources are vital markers in this arid environment, with Cowley Spring and Little Malad Spring noted alongside the courses of Wright Creek and Indian Mill Creek. The naming conventions of the land—honoring local figures in places like Harold Johns Canyon—provide valuable data for genealogists tracing family footprints in the region. This 2011 survey documents the contemporary road system, from N Buehler Loop to Sheep Creek Rd, reflecting the long-standing ranching and agricultural foundations of the area.
