2020 Map of Sheep Creek Spring

About this map

Curlew National Grassland dominates this portion of Oneida County, featuring the managed grazing lands of the Bull Pasture. This modern survey highlights a high-desert environment defined by essential water sources like Sheep Creek Spring and Wood Canyon Spring, which supported the livestock and settlement patterns of Curlew Valley. The map details the transition from the relatively flat Arbor Valley into the more complex topography of the Pleasantview Hills and the North Hansel Mountains. A network of unpaved access routes, including Wood Canyon Rd and Ireland Canyon Rd, connects the deep draws of Smith Canyon and Stark Canyon. These named canyons and valleys provide clear landmarks for understanding how land was partitioned and used in this specific Idaho landscape during the early 21st century.
