About this map

Arbon Valley serves as the primary landscape feature on this Power County sheet, where the drainage systems of Bannock Creek and its tributaries carve a network of deep canyons into the high desert. The small community of Pauline and the nearby Rock Springs area represent the primary points of settlement, connected by the Arbon Valley Hwy that runs north-south through the quadrangle.

Land use patterns are clearly defined by the relationship between the rugged topography and early water management, evidenced by the Pahawena Ditch and numerous named canyons including Waylett Canyon, Stump Hollow Canyon, and Knox Canyon. This terrain dictated the placement of local thoroughfares like Bailey Rd and Lusk Loop, which follow the contours of the valley floor to serve scattered homesteads and ranching interests in this corner of southeastern Idaho.
