2001 Map of Sandrock Canyon

About this map

The Sawtooth National Forest dominates this section of southern Idaho, where the high-altitude terrain of the Black Pine Mountains is defined by a dense network of canyons and vital water sources. This 2001 revision, based on surveys from the early 1980s, highlights the essential role of springs in a dry mountain environment. Named sources like Hutchey Spring, Morrison Spring, and Cottonwood Spring are tucked away in deep drainages, including Dry Canyon and Eightmile Canyon. The topography reveals a landscape shaped by seasonal runoff, with prominent features such as Monument Canyon and Sandrock Canyon carving through the mountain range. For those researching land use in Cassia County, the map provides precise locations for remote water points such as Point Spring and Sixmile Spring, which served as critical landmarks for both forest management and local history.
