2011 Map of Hartley Peak

About this map

Hartley Peak dominates this portion of Power County, where the high desert landscape is etched by a complex network of canyons and drainage systems. The map details a rugged interior accessible primarily via primitive routes like Cliff Canyon Rd and Green Canyon Rd. Notable for its descriptive toponyms, the area includes deep incisions such as Red Ledge Canyon and Warner Canyon, suggesting a history of local geographic identification based on visible geology and flora. The drainage of North Fork Sublett Creek provides a primary hydrological axis in the south, while names like Sawpit Canyon and Last Chance Gulch hint at the area's resource-extraction heritage, where early settlers or prospectors named the land after their labors and narrow margins of success. The isolation of features like Cedar Ridge underscores the traditional ranching and backcountry character of this Idaho terrain.
