About this map

White Arrow Hot Spring and Honey Spring Canyon define the hydraulic character of this high Idaho desert landscape. The terrain is a network of seasonal water sources and intermittent drainages, where life revolves around reliable spots like Rattler Reservoir, Reager Waterhole, and Cold Spring. The map documents a sparsely populated region of Gooding County where the primary infrastructure consists of long-established thoroughfares such as Hill City Rd and Clover Creek Rd. These routes connect isolated landmarks like Ferguson Flat and Bray Lake, which reflect the ranching and resource-driven geography of the Snake River Plain hinterlands. The presence of several named springs, including Halogeton Spring and Coyote Hill Spring, highlights the critical importance of groundwater for survival and land use in this arid environment during the early 21st century.
