About this map

Medicine Lodge Creek and its complex network of seasonal drainages define this portion of Clark County. The landscape is marked by the distinct elevation of Indian Creek Butte and the protected borders of the Targhee National Forest in the northeast corner. This modern survey illustrates how traditional land use persists through a series of specialized routes, including Medicine Lodge Rd, Middle Creek Rd, and the uniquely named Doschades Cow Camp Rd.

A notable site for genealogists and local historians is Small Cem, located near the southern edge of the map along the lower reaches of Indian Creek. The drainage patterns, including West Fork Indian Creek, Rocky Creek, and Dead Horse Creek, reveal the high-desert hydrology of the region. These features, along with Small Lake Hollow Rd, suggest a history of seasonal grazing and ranching transit across this part of Idaho.
