About this map

Curlew National Grassland dominates the northwestern terrain of this modern survey, marking a vast expanse of protected open range that transitions into the Pleasantview Hills and the North Hansel Mountains. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems and canyons, including Smith Canyon and Stark Canyon, which cut through the higher elevations toward the Curlew Valley.

Water remains the critical resource for the area, anchored by Sheep Creek Spring and Wood Canyon Spring at the head of their respective drainages. Cultural features are centered on grazing management, specifically noted by the Curlew National Grassland Bull Pasture near Ireland Canyon. The map provides a clear record of the high-desert road network, from established routes like Sheep Creek Rd to the section-line roads that define the region's agricultural and ranching boundaries.
