1986 Map of King Hill

About this map

King Hill serves as the focal point of this 1980s Elmore County survey, positioned where the Snake River meets a network of drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the sharp descent of the King Hill Creek and Hog Creek canyons as they carve through the volcanic plateau toward the river valley. The region's reliance on water management is evident through the distribution of numerous isolated water sources, including Buckbrush Spring, Twin Springs, and Corker Springs, alongside the Walker Reservoir. This environment includes distinctive landforms such as the Devils Playground and Kings Crown, which rise above the surrounding terrain. Technical infrastructure of the mid-1980s is also documented, including a Gaging Sta and Pump Sta on the riverbank, and a prominent Trans Line cutting across the upland draws.
