About this map

The Goose Creek Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape on the border of Utah and Idaho. This 2011 survey illustrates a region shaped by its drainage networks, where Goose Creek and Pole Creek carve through the arid terrain. The remote character of the area is underscored by the sparse human infrastructure, with Birch Creek Rd providing the primary access through the northeast corner.

For those interested in the industrial history of the borderlands, the Peg Leg Mine stands as a notable landmark near the Birch Creek drainage. The map also detail the headwaters and convergences of local waterways, including Hardesty Creek and its distinct North Fork Hardesty Creek and South Fork Hardesty Creek tributaries. The survey provides a clear view of the topographical boundaries and the isolated nature of mining and ranching interests in this corner of Box Elder County.
