Elba and the surrounding Upper Raft River Valley are documented here in detail, showcasing the ranching and mountainous landscape of southern Idaho. The map reveals a network of canyons and hollows, such as Echo Hollow and Savage Hollow, that define the drainage basins for Cassia Cr and Grape Cr. Large portions of the western half are managed as part of the Sawtooth National Forest, including high-elevation landmarks like Thunder Mtn. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for local burial grounds, including the Elba Cem near the town site and the Sunny Cedar Rest Cem further south. The transportation network is anchored by historical routes like the Oakley Elba Rd and S Elba Almo Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and water sources like Franks Hollow Spring and Savage Hollow Spring used by residents in this arid valley.
