1957 Map of Thorn Creek

About this map

The Bennett Hills dominate this mid-century landscape, where a sophisticated network of water management infrastructure supports the high desert environment. Settled on the boundary between Camas, Gooding, and Lincoln counties, the area features numerous storage basins such as Thorn Creek Reservoir and McHan Reservoir alongside the Milner Gooding Canal. A notable geographic landmark, the Little City of Rocks, stands out amidst the varied canyon systems including Black Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon.
