About this map

Sawtooth National Forest dominates this section of Twin Falls County, where a complex network of high-elevation drainages and springs defines the remote landscape. The map reveals a rugged hydrologic system where Shoshone Cr and Deep Cr collect water from numerous named sources, including Fourth of July Spring, Stratton Spring, and Nelson Spring. These water sources were historically vital for livestock and early forest management in the high Idaho desert.

Transportation through these canyons relies on a few primary routes, such as Shoshone Rd and Basin Rd, which navigate the terrain between Hopper Gulch and Arnolds Gulch. The concentration of family-named or seasonal landmarks like Bone Spring and Browns Spring provides specific points of interest for those tracing the history of land use and grazing rights within the national forest boundaries during the early 21st century.
