About this map

Idaho and Nevada meet along the high-desert borderlands of Twin Falls County and Elko County in this 2014 survey. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of the Shoshone Cr and its many tributaries, such as Mule Cr and Lost Cr, which carve through the high elevations. The southeastern corner is anchored by the rising slopes of the Toana John Mountains, a prominent landmark for those navigating the rugged intersection of the Great Basin.

Hydrological features like Warm Springs, Hale Spring, and Deer Springs provide critical water sources in an otherwise arid environment, indicating the historical importance of these spots for livestock and early travel. While modern county roads like CR-761 and CR-772 now traverse the terrain, the map also captures deep natural incisions like Lost Canyon, illustrating the geological forces that have shaped this border region.
