About this map

Rams Horn Ridge dominates this Idaho high-country landscape within the Sawtooth National Forest. Mapped in the mid-1960s, the area is defined by a dense network of water sources essential for livestock and wildlife, including named features like Deadeye Reservoir, Keith Reservoir, and Fuller Reservoir. The hydrology is complex, with numerous family-named and descriptive springs such as Bowers Spring, Porcupine Spring, and Antelope Spring feeding into the intricate drainages of Harrington Dry Fork Creek and its various forks.

Evidence of human activity is sparse but significant for local history, ranging from Mikes Cabin in the northeast to a Coal Pit located near the southern boundary. The presence of numerous Jeep Trails and standard Trails suggests a terrain utilized for resource management and seasonal grazing. This topographic record captures the region before more modern infrastructure, preserving the original nomenclature of the canyons and springs that characterize this part of Cassia County.
