2017 Map of King Hill

About this map

The Snake River defines the southern boundary of this high desert terrain, where the settlement of King Hill serves as a small hub of activity in the early 21st century. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of seasonal drainages and irrigation efforts, including Walker Ditch and Ricke Ditch, which redirect water across the arid flats. Rising above the draws, Kings Crown stands as a prominent topographical feature overlooking the confluence of King Hill Cr and the river. Numerous springs, such as Bullet Spring, Twin Springs, and Corker Spring, are scattered throughout the higher elevations, indicating the critical role of groundwater in this part of Elmore County. Local transit is managed through a grid of rural roads like Pitchfork Rd and Old Hwy 30, tracing the contours of the land between the water-rich bottomlands and the northern plateaus.
