2020 Map of Elba

About this map

The settlement of Elba sits at the northern edge of this high-elevation basin, serving as a focal point for the surrounding cattle country. This 2020 map documents the transition from the rugged Albion Mountains in the west to the Upper Raft River Valley in the south, illustrating the drainage patterns of Cassia Cr and Summit Cr. Local history is anchored by sites such as Elba Cem and Sunny Cedar Rest Cem, while the vastness of the Sawtooth National Forest dominates the western topography. The map reveals a landscape defined by deeply cut drainages like Black Sand Hollow and prominent peaks including Thunder Mtn. For genealogists and researchers, the detailed mapping of springs such as Lloyd Spring and named hollows provides a clear record of family-named landmarks and water sources essential to the local ranching economy.
