About this map

Hog Creek Butte stands as a central topographic landmark in this section of Idaho, where the high-elevation terrain is defined by the convergence of several major drainage systems. In the mid-1980s, the landscape was dominated by the expansive Crane Creek Reservoir, which collects waters from North Crane Creek and Hog Creek. The map documents the boundary line where Adams Co meets Washington Co, cutting across the northern reaches of the quadrangle.

A network of seasonal watercourses like Dixie Creek, She Creek, and Dutch Flat Creek indicates a region characterized by rhythmic drainage into the reservoirs. Human intervention is largely limited to a prominent Transmission Line and a series of unimproved roads and trails, suggesting a land used primarily for ranching or resource management rather than dense settlement. The presence of Groner Reservoir to the east further emphasizes the vital role of water storage in this high-country environment.
