1979 Map of Murphy Hot Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Murphy Hot Springs sits at the edge of the East Fork Jarbidge River on this 1970s survey, marking a distinct pocket of settlement at the base of steep canyon walls. The surrounding landscape transitions sharply from the deep river valley to the broad, arid stretches of the Inside Desert and Big Flat. This transition illustrates the remote ranching and recreation infrastructure of the high desert, where water management is critical to the local economy. The map documents several man-made water features including the Poison Creek Reservoir, Jim Bob Reservoir, and the CCC Rock Pond, along with supporting aviation access via the Murphy Hot Springs Air Strip. Named high points like Pence Butte and Horse Hill dominate the eastern horizon, while a network of jeep trails and the Clover Three Creek Road provide the only passage through this frontier terrain along the Idaho-Nevada border.
