1968 Map of Kane Canyon

About this map

The Jim Sage Mountains dominate the western half of this Idaho survey, characterized by a series of high peaks and drainage systems that descend into the Raft River Valley to the east. Water is a defining element of this high-desert environment, evidenced by the numerous named water sources such as Red Rock Spring, Kane Spring, and the various springs that feed into Cottonwood Creek. The presence of a Prospect on the eastern flank of Red Rock Mountain points to early mineral exploration in the range, while the landscape is further defined by prominent landforms like Sheep Mountain and Cedar Knoll. A network of primitive transport routes, marked as jeep trails, follows the natural contours of the land, providing access through Kane Canyon and across the rugged slopes of the mountains.
