About this map

The Sublett Range dominates the northern horizon of this 1973 field-checked survey, providing a backdrop for the small settlement of Juniper. Located near the border of Cassia and Oneida County, the landscape is defined by the transition from the high peaks of Saddle Horse Basin to the flatter expanses of Juniper Valley. Infrastructure of the early 1970s is well-documented, featuring a Radio Facility, Storage Bins, and a dedicated Landing Strip servicing this rural pocket of Idaho.

Water sources are critical to this arid terrain, with Glen Canyon Spring and Meadow Creek providing essential flow through the deep cuts of Crazy Canyon and Hay Canyon. For genealogists and local historians, the Juniper Cem and scattered Gravel Pit operations offer clues to the community’s footprint and industry. The presence of several Jeep Trails and a Drill Hole suggests an era of continued land exploration and resource management in the high desert.
