2013 Map of South Chapin Mountain

About this map

Heglar sits at the intersection of a network of local roads in this high-elevation corner of Cassia County. The landscape is defined by the significant prominence of South Chapin Mountain and North Chapin Mountain, which tower over the surrounding drainage systems. The map details the complex geography of the area's namesake canyon, specifically identifying North Heglar Canyon, South Heglar Canyon, and the main Heglar Canyon corridor. These rugged topographical features are primarily accessed via a grid of rural routes such as Heglar Rd and S Heglar Canyon Rd. Water sources in this arid environment are sparse, marked only by specific features like Butler Spring and the winding course of Shirley Cr in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The lack of dense settlement outside of the Heglar area highlights the isolated, high-country character of this part of southern Idaho.
