About this map

The Deep Creek Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in Idaho’s Power County, defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and canyons. Water sources are critical identifiers in this arid high country, with named features such as Fisher Spring, Study Spring, and Sawmill Spring providing vital points of reference. The terrain is marked by significant geographic depressions including Bowen Canyon, Dry Canyon, and Swede Canyon, which channel runoff into larger systems like Sawmill Cr and Moonshine Cr.

Modern access into these drainages is provided by the Rudeen Loop and the Moonshine Trl, which navigate the steep elevations of the Sawmill Creek quadrangle. The naming of canyons and springs suggests a history of grazing and timber extraction, common in the region's mountain ranges. This survey details the intersection of early topographical nomenclature with current forestry and recreational routes near Starlight Cr and Squaw Cr.
