2011 Map of Mahogany Butte

About this map

Mahogany Butte and the surrounding high country of Cassia County are defined by a complex network of springs and drainage systems. This interior landscape relies heavily on water sources such as Thoroughbred Spring Number One, Crystal Spring, and Kidd Spring to support movement through the high-elevation passes. The terrain is marked by distinctive summits including Trout Creek Mountain, Swanty Peak, and the curiously named South Tit and Dads Hump. The presence of the Jay Creek Corral in the southeast corner indicates the ongoing importance of livestock management in these upland basins. A dramatic vertical landscape is revealed through features like the Phantom Falls Waterfall on Fall Creek, while transit across the ridges is funneled through Deerhorn Pass and Trout Creek Pass. This 2011 survey captures the area's transition between isolated peaks and the deep recesses of Joes Basin.
