2013 Map of Snaky Canyon

About this map

Reno Ranch stands as a primary point of human settlement in this high-desert landscape, situated where the terrain transitions from the steep drainage systems of the Targhee National Forest to more level plains. The northern portion of the map is defined by a series of deep incisions in the earth, including the eponymous Snaky Canyon, Kelly Canyon, and Corral Canyon. This area shows the intersection of wild timberland and agricultural effort, evidenced by the Reno Ditch which carries water toward the lower elevations. Travel through this portion of the Jefferson and Clark county line is facilitated by the curving path of Id-22 and the unpaved Snaky Canyon Rd, while landmarks like Rattlesnake Point and Juniper Gulch provide distinct navigational markers for those tracing the historical geography of this Idaho backcountry.
