1985 Map of North Heglar Canyon

About this map

The Sublett Range dominates this mid-1980s landscape, where a intricate network of canyons and perennial water sources defines the high country. Part of the Sawtooth National Forest, the terrain is marked by family-named water sources and landmarks that suggest a history of seasonal grazing and high-altitude resource use. The map's high density of named springs, such as Clint Palmer Spring, Bruce Young Spring, and Mine Dump Spring, highlights the critical importance of water management in this arid Idaho environment. These features are situated within a series of deep drainages, including North Heglar Canyon and South Heglar Canyon, which cut through the mountains towards the border of Cassia and Power counties. Geologists and local historians can trace the relationship between physical topography and named points like Cedar Creek Peak and Eagle Point, which served as essential navigational markers for those working the land.
