About this map

Raft River Mountains and their surrounding valleys dominate this 1987 U.S. Geological Survey topographic record of the high desert along the Idaho-Utah border. Small, remote settlements such as Yost, Park Valley, and Rosette are scattered across the base of the peaks, reflecting a landscape defined by ranching and limited water resources. The northeastern corner of the Great Salt Lake reaches into the southeast, bordered by the Hogup Mountains and the expanse of Mud Flat.

Hydrological features like Etna Reservoir and the Raft River illustrate the vital network of creeks—including Dove Creek, Rosebud Creek, and Wildcat Creek—that descend from the Sawtooth National Forest. Resource extraction is noted at the Skook Mine, while landmarks such as George Peak and Black Butte provide clear orientation points for those studying the land use and topography of Box Elder County during the late twentieth century.
