1981 Map of Homer Valley

About this map

Grays Lake Outlet dominates this high-country landscape, carving a prominent valley through the high ridges of southeast Idaho. The 1981 survey documents a terrain defined by water and grazing, where numerous mountain streams like Twin Pines Creek and Sawmill Creek feed into the central drainage system. The area is marked by distinctive elevations such as Sugarloaf Mtn and Sheep Mountain, while the presence of several corrals and isolated storage bins suggests a land primarily utilized for seasonal ranching and livestock management. This map records the intersection of Bingham and Bonneville counties during a period when the infrastructure remained largely rural and utilitarian. Human activity is further evidenced by the Cinder Pit near Homer Creek and a network of 4WD trails, including Cranes Flat Road, which provided the primary access for land management and resource extraction in this remote part of the state.
