About this map

Mayfield and the small settlement of Regina anchor this 1990 survey of the high desert and foothills where the Ada and Elmore county lines meet. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the level expanse of Slaters Flat to the rising slopes of the Danskin Mountains in the northeast. This terrain is carved by an intricate network of drainage draws, including McIntyre Draw and McElroy Draw, which feed into larger water bodies like Indian Creek and Bowns Creek.

Resource extraction and infrastructure are evident throughout the quadrangle. An Open Pit Mine and various prospects are situated near Pole Gulch, while a long-reaching pipeline and several power transmission lines cross the sagebrush flats. Local history is grounded by the presence of a rural cemetery at Mayfield and the remnants of ranching or homesteading life indicated by named features like Bryans Run and Sheep Creek.
