About this map

The settlement of Elba occupies the northern reach of this Cassia County landscape, situated where Cassia Creek and Clyde Creek converge. The terrain is defined by a series of named drainages and depressions that speak to the local ranching and geographical history, including Grassy Hollow, Poison Hollow, and the prominent Keg Hollow Canyon. To the west, the elevation rises sharply toward Thunder Mountain, overlooking the seasonal flows of Grape Creek and Waterfall Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Elba Cemetery north of the main townsite, as well as the Sunny Cedar Rest Cemetery further south near Little Cove Ranch Rd. The map also meticulously documents numerous water sources critical for high-desert survival, such as Savage Hollow Spring, Black Sand Spring, and Franks Hollow Spring. The road network, including the S Elba Almo Rd and S Narrows Rd, illustrates the connectivity between these remote mountain hollows and the larger valley floor.
