About this map

Agricultural development and ranching operations define this high desert landscape south of the Snake River. The small community of Roseworth sits at the northern edge of the sheet, supported by a network of irrigation infrastructure including the Cedar Mesa Canal, Antelope Canal, and the Cedar Mesa Reservoir. These waterworks stand in contrast to the more arid southern reaches, where the land transitions into the draws and flats of the high plateau.

Evidence of local residency and land use is visible at the Conover Ranch and Clark Ranch, while a small Landing Strip and a solitary Grave north of the reservoir suggest the self-sufficiency required in this remote part of Twin Falls County. To the south, the terrain becomes more distinct with features like Pigtail Butte and the broad expanse of John Boyd Flat, dissected by John Boyd Draw and Worley Draw. Transportation is limited to functional routes like House Creek Road and several jeep trails providing access to livestock grazing areas.
