About this map

Deer Heaven Mtn dominates this portion of the Idaho high country, serving as a hydrologic hub for numerous named drainages and seasonal water sources. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of King Hill Cr and Thorn Cr, which carve through the high-elevation terrain. This 2017 survey reveals a complex network of springs, many bearing evocative local names such as Blackhawk Spring, Bourbon Spring, and Thoroughbred Spring.

Transport is limited to the peripheral Hill City Rd in the north and the W Fork King-Hill Cr access points, reflecting the area's primary use for ranching or resource management within t2s r10e and surrounding townships. Deep incisions like Hall Gulch and Walker Gulch illustrate the erosional patterns of the Snake River Plain's northern fringe. This map provides a clear view of the water-rights landscape in a region where named springs like Scrub Spring and Whiskey Spring were essential for survival.
