About this map

California Trail National Back Country B traverses the high desert landscape along the border of Idaho and Nevada, marking a historic corridor through the remote drainages of the northern Great Basin. The terrain is defined by a series of intermittent and seasonal water sources, including Warm Springs, Deer Springs, and Hole Spring, which were vital waypoints for travelers in this arid region.

The map details the rugged transitions from the Toana John Mountains in the southeast to the deep cuts of Lost Canyon further north. A network of creeks, such as Shoshone Cr, Willow Cr, and Trout Cr, carve through the townships of Twin Falls and Elko counties. This 2018 survey provides a modern record of these longstanding geographic markers and the established livestock and transit routes that have defined this borderland for generations.
