1978 Map of Taylor Canyon

About this map

Steel Place and Guy Kinyon Cabin anchor the high-country ranching history shown in this late 1970s survey of the borderlands between Idaho and Nevada. The landscape is defined by its water sources, with names like Jack Walker Spring, Merles Pond, and Meadow Springs indicating the vital importance of irrigation and livestock watering in this arid high-desert environment. The state line divides Twin Falls County, Idaho, and Elko County, Nevada, yet the network of jeep trails suggests a unified landscape of recreation and grazing that ignores political boundaries. Notable cultural sites include the Rutherford Cabin and a unique landmark named Parkers Defeat. In the southeast, Salmon Falls Creek and the North Fork Barbour Cr carve into the terrain, while the heights of Taylor Canyon and Timber Canyon provide topographic relief to the plateau.
