About this map

Allan's Corral and the nearby Allan's Cutoff highlight the historical ranching and transit patterns in this section of Elmore County. Located within the Boise National Forest, the landscape is defined by the significant rise of Bennett Mtn and the broader Mount Bennett Hills. This terrain is characterized by a complex network of drainage systems, including Little Camas Creek, West Fork King Hill Creek, and Alkali Creek, which have carved numerous gulches such as Bear Gulch and Burns Gulch into the volcanic slopes.

Water sources are vital landmarks in this high-desert environment, with uniquely named features like Beer Can Spring, Prince Albert Spring, and Lansing Springs serving as critical points of interest. The southern portion of the map transitions into more level terrain at Goodman Flat and Babs Flat, where Hill City Rd provides modern access through a region once dictated by seasonal livestock movements and the rugged topography of the Canyon Creek watershed.
