2013 Map of Salmon Butte

About this map

Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir dominates the western edge of this High Desert landscape, where the waters of Salmon Falls Cr are harnessed for the region's agricultural network. The interplay between the arid canyonlands and managed water is evident through features like the Main Canal, A Lateral, and Whiskey Slough. To the east, the terrain rises toward McCongle Canyon, while the prominent volcanic profile of Salmon Butte stands as a landmark above Three Creek Rd. This area reflects the mid-century ranching and irrigation economy of southern Idaho, documented here with points of interest such as Greys Landing and Point Ranch. The map also captures the topography of Browns Bench, a significant plateau overlooking the reservoir, and the path of Us-93 N as it cuts across the high plateau toward the Nevada border.
