About this map

The boundary between Elmore and Gooding counties cuts through this high desert terrain, where the landscape is defined by its vital water sources. Numerous springs are scattered throughout the hills, including the evocatively named Dead Horse Spring, Cedar Tree Spring, and Hat Spring. These essential water points, alongside Echo Spring and Warm Spring, historically supported livestock and travelers in an otherwise arid environment.

Surface drainage is shaped by seasonal waterways such as Hog Cr, Clover Cr, and Dry Cr, which carve through the topography. Evidence of agricultural development appears in the south with the Lateral Y-9 irrigation feature. While mostly open country, the map identifies local transit corridors like Clover Creek Rd and Knox Rd, reflecting the infrastructure needed to navigate this sparsely populated ranching and grazing land.
