1957 Map of Thorn Creek SW

About this map

Little City of Rocks dominates the northern landscape of this Gooding County survey, where complex geological formations transition into a network of managed water systems. The elevation drops from these high rocky outcrops toward the south, where the North Gooding Main Canal and Lateral Ditch reflect the region's agricultural irrigation infrastructure. Along the western edge, the Dog Creek Reservoir is a prominent feature, complete with a Boat Ramp and nearby Powerplant fed by a Penstock. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Willow Creek, Black Canyon Creek, and Thorn Creek, while local landmarks like Turkey Head Butte and Turkey Lake provide distinct orientation points. A sparse network of 4WD trails and local thoroughfares like Robertson South Road connect the scattered water resources and survey benchmarks across this High Desert environment.
