2017 Map of Thunder Gulch

About this map

Lava Creek descends through the high, arid landscape of Clark County within the southeastern reaches of the Targhee National Forest. This modern 2017 survey details the complex topography of the high desert and mountain transition, where seasonal watercourses like Lava Creek define the drainage patterns across the volcanic terrain. The map provides a precise look at the land division and section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating how federal management and private holdings intersect in this corner of Idaho. It is an essential document for understanding contemporary land use and the enduring geographic character of the region as it is managed today by the U.S. Geological Survey.
