About this map

Sawtooth National Forest dominates the northern high ground of this landscape, where the Idaho-Nevada border meets at the junction of Twin Falls, Elko, and Cassia Counties. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and drainage systems, most notably Deadline Ridge and the distinct formation of Eclipse Rock. Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid environment, with numerous named points such as Stratton Spring, Mud Spring, and Summit Spring providing vital geographic anchors across the high desert.

The map reveals a network of canyons and gulches, including Nevada Gulch and Horse Gulch, which channel seasonal flows like Stratton Cr and Little Goose Cr. While largely devoid of major settlements, the presence of CR-761 indicates the primary transit corridor through these remote basins. This survey is particularly useful for researchers tracing the historical grazing and water rights of the borderlands, where features like Gollaher Springs Draw reflect the localized naming conventions of the ranching era.
