2011 Map of Hawkins

About this map

Hawkins sits as a central junction point in this high-altitude drainage basin of Bannock County, where mountain peaks like Old Tom Mountain and Cedar Mountain frame a landscape defined by water management and ranching roads. The area's hydrology is complex, featuring the Hawkins Reservoir and the engineered Hawkins Dam, which regulate the flow of Hawkins Creek and its tributaries. To the northwest, the Wycross Ditch indicates the historical importance of irrigation in this arid environment, while the narrow Garden Creek Gap serves as a natural corridor for Garden Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the local road network, from established routes like W Arimo Rd to the more remote Upper Battlesnake Rd. For those researching local heritage, the Robin Cemetery in the eastern hills remains a significant landmark of early community settlement, while place names like Deadwood Creek and Yellow Dog Creek hint at the rugged character of the original pioneers who named these drainage forks.
