1968 Map of Jim Sage Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

California Trail and Salt Lake Alternate routes cut through this landscape, marking the historic movement of pioneers across the Upper Raft River Valley. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages, including Almo Creek and Edwards Creek, that flow toward the Raft River as it passes through the constricted passage of The Narrows. To the north, the elevation rises sharply into Jim Sage Canyon, where water sources like Jim Sage Spring provided critical relief in an arid environment. This 1968 survey details a network of water-management features, including numerous unnamed wells and a series of Borrow Pits, illustrating the ranching and infrastructure needs of southern Cassia County during the mid-20th century. The presence of a Jeep Trail winding through the canyons suggests the continuing utility of these remote corridors long after the era of the wagon trains.
