About this map

Sawtooth National Forest and the Goose Creek Mountains converge in this high-desert landscape during the late 1980s. The map illustrates a complex intersection of geography where the borders of Idaho, Nevada, and Utah meet, marked specifically at a tri-point involving Cassia, Elko, and Box Elder Counties. Human activity in this remote region is centered around the Trout Creek Ranch and a nearby Radio Tower, while the historical path of the Emigrant Trail tracks through the drainage of Goose Creek. Significant water sources like Nile Spring and various tributaries including Meadow Creek and Hardesty Creek define the drainage patterns across the Idaho-Nevada line, providing critical points for ranching and transit in an otherwise arid terrain.
