2020 Map of Hawkins

About this map

Hawkins sits at the junction of several drainage systems in this rural section of Bannock County, where irrigation and ranching are defined by the local topography. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Hawkins Reservoir and the Wycross Ditch which divert flow from Hawkins Cr. To the north and south, the terrain rises sharply into the Caribou National Forest, with Old Tom Mtn and Cedar Mtn providing prominent landmarks for those navigating the high country. The landscape is marked by natural corridors like Garden Creek Gap, which facilitate travel between the mountain peaks. A network of rural roads, including S Hawkins Rd and W Vandyke Rd, connects isolated homesteads and leads to the Robin Cem in the northeastern corner of the map. This survey captures a moment in Idaho’s high-desert ranching history where family names are permanently etched into the roads and watercourses.
