About this map

Nutmeg Flat and the high ridge of Bear Creek Summit define the interior of Washington County in this 2020 topographic record. The landscape is characterized by its complex drainage network, where Crane Creek and its many tributaries, including Star Butte Cr and Cove Cr, carve through the high-elevation terrain. Named landmarks like Sugarloaf and Dead Man Gulch provide specific geographical anchors for local history research and land use study.

Transportation through this part of Idaho relies on several key corridors, notably the Lower Soulen Ranch Rd and S Crane Rd, which provide access to ranching lands and the rugged uplands. The U.S. Geological Survey detail illustrates the relationship between these remote roads and the natural hydrology, such as Bear Cr, at a scale that captures the precise elevation changes of the Idaho backcountry.
