About this map

Spencer stands as the primary settlement on this Clark County landscape, positioned where the high desert meets the southern fringes of the Targhee National Forest. The geography is defined by a complex drainage system, including Middle Dry Cr, E Dry Cr, and Beaver Cr, which carve through the terrain as they flow southward from the mountains. This 2017 survey details a transition from forest highlands to volcanic-influenced plains, most notably evidenced by The Crater in the southeastern quadrant.

Transportation corridors follow the natural contours of the land, with Old Hwy 91 and modern interstate routes paralleling the ancient watercourses. Local history is reflected in the naming of prominent landmarks like China Point and Red Springs Butte. The map also traces established ranch and forest access routes such as Sky Line Rd and Dairy Creek Rd, which provide a clear picture of how this high-altitude environment is navigated and managed.
