2013 Map of Sheep Creek Spring

About this map

Curlew National Grassland dominates this high-desert landscape in Oneida County, Idaho, where the natural intersection of Arbon Valley and Curlew Valley creates a significant geological and historical corridor. The map reveals a remote ranching and grazing environment defined by isolated water sources such as Sheep Creek Spring and Wood Canyon Spring, which were vital for livestock and settlement in this semi-arid region. To the south, the North Hansel Mountains rise above the drainage systems of Ireland Canyon and Stark Canyon, while the Pleasantview Hills anchor the northern reaches. This 2013 survey details the network of remote mountain roads, including Sheep Creek Rd and Ireland Canyon Rd, that navigate the deep canyons and broad valleys of this intermountain basin.
