2024 Map of Holland Gulch

About this map

Stinking Water Basin and Wilburn Butte anchor the high ground in this arid corner of the Snake River drainage, where the terrain is carved by a network of drainage channels and gulches. The landscape is defined by the transition between Washington County and Payette County, marked by the north-south flow of Linson Creek and the meandering path of Little Willow Creek in the south. This area is characterized by its named canyons and springs, such as the evocatively named Toe-Jam Canyon and Toe-Jam Spring. Local transportation relies on primitive and secondary roads like Sand Hollow Rd and Paddock Valley Rd, which follow the natural contours of the gulches. The drainage patterns of Wet Gulch, Dry Gulch, and Heart Gulch reveal a complex topography of ridges and basins that have likely served as important landmarks for ranching and overland travel for generations.
