2017 Map of Hopper Gulch

About this map

Sawtooth National Forest dominates the eastern landscape of this Idaho quadrangle, where high-altitude springs and narrow gulches define the terrain of Twin Falls County. The intricate drainage network of Shoshone Creek and its many tributaries, such as Cottonwood Creek and Green Creek, shapes the local topography. This region is marked by a high density of named water sources, including Fourth of July Spring, Soldier Spring, and Lone Pine Spring, which served as critical landmarks for range management and forest navigation. The road system, featuring Magic Hot Springs Road and Basin Road, provides access through the various gulches like Bear Gulch and Arnolds Gulch. The prevalence of these springs and seasonal creeks illustrates the hydrological importance of this high-country environment within the Great Basin drainage system.
