About this map

Sawtooth National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Twin Falls and Cassia counties. The area is defined by a complex network of seasonal water sources and drainages, including Dry Gulch, Cherry Gulch, and the prominent Fifth Fork Rock Creek. These steep canyons and high points like Grand View Peak and Wooden Shoe Butte suggest a territory shaped by remote forestry and seasonal grazing.

Evidence of early recreational development appears in the designated sites like Schipper Campground and Bird Glen Picnic Area, while the presence of a Gravel Pit and scattered wells near the north boundary points to localized extraction and infrastructure maintenance. Named springs such as Crockett Spring, Indian Spring, and Sugarloaf Spring are critical markers for anyone tracing historic water rights or early livestock routes through the Sagehen Flats and Steer Basin regions.
