1968 Map of Marion SE

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Oakley Corp Bdy marks the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the agricultural flats of the Snake River Plain meet the rising slopes of the Albion Mountains. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map reveals a highly developed irrigation and water management system essential for high-desert ranching, indicated by numerous wells and the flow of East Mill Creek toward the settlement. The transition from level ground to high relief is sharp, defined by drainages like Muckey Wash and the steep walls of Big Cedar Can. Small-scale resource extraction is evident near the mountain front, where a Prospect and Mine are situated above Land Ranch Creek. In the more arid eastern reaches, isolated water sources such as Bedke Spring and the seasonal path of Willow Creek highlight the challenges of land use in this part of Cassia County.
