About this map

White Arrow Hot Spring and several critical water sources anchor this arid portion of Gooding County. The landscape is defined by its drainages, primarily Clover Creek and its tributary East Fork Clover Creek, which cut through the high plains. Human infrastructure is limited to long-standing transportation routes like Hill City Road and Clover Creek Road, which provide access to a series of remote landmarks such as Ferguson Flat and the deeply incised Honey Spring Canyon.

Reliable water points are the most significant features for local history and land use here. The map identifies multiple isolated sources including Coyote Hill Spring, Cold Spring, and Halogeton Spring, alongside man-made improvements like Rattler Reservoir and the Rogger Waterhole. These features, along with the ephemeral Lye Lake, illustrate the essential relationship between the region's geography and the requirements of seasonal ranching and travel in the Idaho desert.
