About this map

Shoshone Basin characterizes this landscape in southern Idaho, where a complex network of seasonal drainages and springs defines the high-desert terrain. The map reveals a land utilized for more than just its natural features, evidenced by the presence of a Landing Strip and the Magic Hot Springs Road cutting through the western portion of the sheet. The northern section is dominated by the Sawtooth National Forest, while the southern expanse is marked by topographic markers like Alvins Well and the Spillway.

Water sources are vital landmarks here, ranging from named points like Fourth of July Spring to the winding course of Shoshone Creek. These features, along with scattered Gravel Pits, highlight the intersection of natural resources and light infrastructure. For researchers, the map provides a clear look at the hydraulic history of the region, from the North Fork Shoshone Creek to the many family-named or seasonal springs like Whittle Spring.
