1986 Map of Hot Springs Creek Res

About this map

Hot Springs Creek Reservoir dominates the northwestern corner of this high-desert landscape in Elmore County, where a network of seasonal drainages and essential water sources define the local geography. Significant infrastructure supporting the region's utilities is evident through the numerous Trans Lines and a Pipeline that traverse the terrain, alongside a noted Pumping Station and a Radio Tower. The area's water management is further detailed by the paths of Bennett Creek, Ryegrass Creek, and Cold Springs Creek, which carve through the land towards the south. Isolated water features like Lone Tree Spring provide critical landmarks in a region otherwise characterized by its drainage basins and occasional industrial markers such as a Gravel Pit. This survey captures the technical and utility-based development of the Idaho backcountry during the mid-1980s.
