2017 Map of Thorn Creek SW
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Little City of Rocks and the surrounding basalt-carved terrain of Gooding County dominate the northern portion of this landscape. The map reveals a sharp transition from the geologic formations of Burnt Willow Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon to an intensive agricultural water management system in the south. This network is anchored by the N Gooding Main Canal and a complex series of irrigation channels including Robertson Ditch, Union Ditch, and the S 2300 E Lateral 1310. The reliance on these man-made water systems is further evidenced by the Dog Cr Reservoir and numerous numbered laterals. Between these two distinct zones, natural landmarks like Turkey Head Butte and the seasonal waters of Turkey Lake stand as isolated features in the high desert environment of southern Idaho.
