1965 Map of Stricker Butte

About this map

Stricker Cabin and the nearby Rock Creek Cemeteries sit at the center of this 1965 survey, marking an area of deep historical significance in southern Idaho. The landscape is defined by the sophisticated irrigation infrastructure necessary for agriculture in the Snake River Plain, featuring the Twin Falls Main Canal, the High Line Canal, and the Low Line Canal. These water systems carve through the terrain alongside natural features like Rock Creek and Perrine Coulee. To the south, the topography rises sharply toward Stricker Butte and the foothills of the Cassia Forest, where deep drainages like Dry Gulch and Niles Gulch emerge. This map documents a transitional landscape where the organized grid of section roads and the Pleasant Valley Sch meet the rugged breaks of Antelope Valley.
