2020 Map of Sweetzer Canyon

About this map

Sawtooth National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this Cassia County region, where the high elevations of the Black Pine Mountains culminate at War Eagle Peak. This high-desert terrain is defined by a series of dramatic drainages including Sweetzer Canyon, Hutchey Canyon, and Burnt Canyon. The map reveals a network of land management and access routes, such as Juniper Rd and the Pipeline Jeep Trail, which facilitate movement through the disparate elevations of Juniper Valley. Water sources are sparse but critical, marked by Meadow Cr and Mud Spring. The structural layout of townships and ranges indicates the systematic surveying of this Idaho back-country, where the primary human footprint is found in the development of forest roads like Pole Canyon Rd 761 and Nat For Dev Rd 768.
