About this map

Sawtooth National Forest and the Minidoka Forest State Bird Sanctuary dominate this high-altitude landscape south of Twin Falls. The terrain is defined by the sharp divide of Deadline Ridge, where numerous forks of Rock Creek and Mountain View Creek have carved deep drainages like Wahlstrom Hollow and Bear Hollow. The map captures a high-desert recreation and service hub, featuring the Magic Mtn Ski Area and various organized camps including Kum Ba Yah Camp and Tawakani Camp.

Resource management and back-country access are evident through the presence of the Shoshone Forest Service Station, Shoshone Cabin, and the Rock Creek Ranger Station. For those tracing local landmarks or genealogy, the map identifies specific high points like Pike Mountain and Mountain View Peak, alongside several primitive campgrounds such as Upper Penstemon Campground and Kirkman Campground. A dense network of jeep trails and springs, including Electric Spring and Wagon Spring, illustrates the historical reliance on these remote water sources.
