About this map

Blair Trail Reservoir and Morrow Reservoir dominate this high-desert plateau in Elmore County, serving as critical water resources in an otherwise arid landscape. This 2017 survey reveals a network of natural springs that dot the terrain, including Batty Hot Spring, Rustican Spring, and Mud Springs, which feed into the intermittent drainages of Alkali Cr and Little Canyon Cr.

The presence of long-established ranching routes like Berry Ranch Rd and Bennett Mtn Rd suggests a land primarily used for livestock grazing. The rugged contours are carved by King Hill Cr and marked by landmarks such as Cedar Spring, reflecting the essential relationship between water and survival in the Idaho backcountry. The mapping of township and range boundaries, from t3s r9e to t5s r10e, provides a clear grid for tracking land ownership and historical grazing allotments.
