About this map

The Raft River Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this corner of Box Elder County, where the high terrain of the Sawtooth National Forest gives way to a network of high-desert drainage systems. Water is the primary architect of the region's character, with features like Birch Spring, Stevens Spring, and Black Hills Spring feeding into the intricate forks of Dove Creek. This 2014 survey documents the remote transition from the timbered slopes of the Nut Pine Hills to the southern flats near the Warm Spring Hills.

Evidence of local land management and ranching history is visible in the placement of the Warm Spring Reservoir and the rural road network, including Dove Creek Rd and Warm Springs Rd. For researchers of the Intermountain West, the map provides a clear view of how topographical features like Danish Hollow and Suzanna Canyon have shaped human access and cattle movement across this high-altitude terrain.
