About this map

The high desert and mountain landscapes of southern Idaho and northern Nevada are defined here by the water-management systems and transportation corridors of the late twentieth century. Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir and the Cedar Creek Reservoir dominate the western terrain, serving an agricultural network of canals and small settlements like Rogerson, Hollister, and Amsterdam. This region is bisected by the Union Pacific railroad and U.S. Route 93, which follow the gentle grades through the Shoshone Basin before the land rises sharply into the timbered heights of the Sawtooth National Forest.

In the eastern portion of the sheet, the topography becomes more dramatic at Deadline Ridge and Harrington Peak. Local landmarks such as Browns Bench and Sugarloaf provide essential orientation in this sprawling ranching and federal forest land. The presence of the Twin Falls Military Res and the Twin Falls-Sun Valley Regional Airport near Berger highlights the area's modern infrastructure development in the years following the mid-century.
