About this map

The Raft River Valley serves as a primary corridor for settlement and travel in this high-desert region of southern Idaho. The small community of Malta sits at the intersection of Id-77 and the valley floor, where Cassia Cr flows toward the eastern mountains. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape shaped by water management and topography, with springs like McClendon Spring and Nibbs Spring providing vital points of interest on the arid slopes.

Rising sharply from the plains, the Cotterel Mountains and Jim Sage Mountains flank the valley, creating a rugged verticality punctuated by drainage features such as Parks Cr and Rice Cr. Smaller settlements and local waypoints like Connor and Conant trace the paths of historic development along the foothills. Local thoroughfares, including Cattle Rd and Gamble Ln, provide a look at the rural grid that supports the ranching and agricultural life of the valley.
