2023 Map of Grand View Peak

About this map

Grand View Peak stands as the high point of this high-elevation landscape within the Sawtooth National Forest, straddling the border of Twin Falls and Cassia counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of gulches and creeks, including Fifth Fork Rock Creek and Jones Fork Creek, which carve through plateaus like Sagehen Flats and Buckbrush Flats. The distribution of water sources is critical in this environment, marked by numerous named springs such as Cherry Spring, Pole Camp Spring, and Sugarloaf Spring. Evidence of high-country land use is visible in the transition between open basins like Donahue Basin and Steer Basin and the rugged buttes, including Wooden Shoe Butte. The presence of the Lincoln Reservoir and trails like the Electric Mud Spr Trl suggest a landscape balanced between resource management and recreation.
