1979 Map of Stricker Butte

About this map

Stricker Cabin and the nearby Rock Creek Cemeteries anchor this Idaho landscape, where the agricultural plains meet the rising foothills of the south. The transition from the irrigation-dependent north to the drainage-carved south is marked by the High Line Canal and the distinctive Stricker Butte. The map reveals a complex water management system with features like the Perrine Coulee and Control Gates, essential for the high-desert farming economy. Moving south, the terrain becomes more varied as Rock Creek winds through the valley, joined by seasonal drainages like Niles Gulch and Dry Gulch. Numerous Gravel Pits and a Quarry near Cedar Hill indicate local extraction industries, while a Landing Strip highlights the logistical connectivity of this rural region. The boundary between Twin Falls Co and Cassia Co bisects the southeastern portion, cutting through the headwaters of Antelope Valley.
