About this map

King Hill serves as the focal point for this Elmore County landscape, where the southern plains meet the elevated volcanic rises of the Mount Bennett Hills. This 2023 survey illustrates the critical relationship between the Snake River and the agricultural infrastructure of the high desert, featuring prominent water management systems like Walker Reservoir and the Walker Ditch.

The terrain is marked by deep drainage patterns such as Buckbrush Draw and King Hill Creek, which flow toward the river corridor. Local landmarks like Kings Crown stand above the surrounding coulees, while numerous water sources, including Twin Springs, Corker Springs, and Big Water Hole, dot the northern hills. The map provides a current perspective on local thoroughfares like Old HWY 30 and Dempsey Meadow RD, tracing the connections between the river basin and the cattle country above the canyon rims.
