2011 Map of Ibex Peak

About this map

Ibex Peak anchors this high-elevation landscape in Cassia County, defined by a complex network of springs and drainages that supported remote ranching operations. The terrain is marked by essential passes and canyons, including Beaverdam Pass and Johnnys Canyon, which provided transit through the steep topography. Grounded in the region's agricultural and extractive history, the map shows several established ranch sites like Frish Ranch and Dry Gulch Ranch, as well as the Worthington Mine tucked into N E Canyon. Water is the most pervasive feature on this sheet, with dozens of named sources such as Mabey Spring, Lone Pine Spring, and Twin Springs feeding the headwaters of Beaverdam Creek and its many forks. This 2011 survey captures the enduring character of these rural highlands, where seasonal water sources and corrals like Wards Corral dictated the movement of livestock and people.
