2011 Map of Severe Spring

About this map

Severe Spring and the surrounding high-country water sources anchor this remote corner of Cassia County, providing a glimpse into the vital hydrology of the Idaho landscape in the early 21st century. The map illustrates a complex network of seasonal drainages and permanent springs, such as North Water Spring and Big Pipe Spring, which have historically supported livestock and wildlife. These water points are often named for early settlers or distinctive local flora, as seen with Cedar Birch Spring and Dummer Spring.
