1968 Map of Jim Sage Canyon

About this map

The California Trail cuts through this high basin in the late 1960s, following a path across the Upper Raft River Valley. This landscape is defined by its drainage system, where numerous creeks including Taters Creek, Edwards Creek, and Grape Creek descend from the western slopes toward the central river. Significant water sources like Jim Sage Spring and Reed Spring provided critical sustenance in this arid environment, a fact reinforced by the presence of several named wells throughout the valley floor.
