2023 Map of Pole Creek

About this map

The Goose Creek Mountains anchor this high-elevation landscape where the Idaho-Utah state line and the Cassia-Box Elder county boundary converge. This is a region defined by its drainage systems, where the headwaters of Pole Creek and Hardesty Creek cut through the terrain. The map reveals a network of primitive access routes, including Goose Creek Rd and E Hardesty Rd, which navigate the various forks and ridges. The presence of North Fork Hardesty Creek and South Fork Hardesty Creek suggests a complex watershed that has historically supported seasonal grazing and transit across the state border. While devoid of major settlements, the named creeks and specific road alignments like E Vipont Rd provide essential reference points for understanding the early 21st-century land use in this borderland area.
