2010 Map of Sheep Ridge

About this map

Little Willow Creek and Big Willow Creek define the drainage patterns of this high-desert landscape in southwestern Idaho. The 2010 survey reveals an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure essential for local ranching and agriculture, including the McIntyre Canal, Nelson Canal, and Bolton Canal. These water systems wrap around the prominent Sheep Ridge and navigate the numerous gulches that carve through the terrain, such as Stone Quarry Gulch and Alley Gulch. This period shows a largely undeveloped rangeland where name-bearing landmarks like Bradford Spring and Sheep Spring served as vital water sources. The road network is primarily composed of unpaved tracks like Little Willow Rd and Stone Quarry Rd, reflecting the rural character and land use of the area near the turn of the 21st century.
