2013 Map of Thousand Springs

About this map

Thousand Springs and the surrounding high desert plateau define this region of Idaho's Snake River Plain. The landscape is marked by the unique hydrogeology of the area, where water emerges from the basalt canyon walls. The small settlement of West Point serves as a local landmark amidst a grid of agricultural development and water management features. Sand Springs further illustrates the critical role of groundwater in this arid environment during the early 21st century. The map reflects a modern era of land use where irrigation and natural springs coexist, shaping the development of rural Twin Falls County.
