About this map

Sawtooth National Forest dominates the eastern half of this landscape, where the high terrain of Deadline Ridge and Timber Butte provides a dramatic backdrop for a complex network of springs and drainages. The area is defined by its water sources, essential for ranching and forest management, including names like Winecup Spring, Beer Mug Spring, and Indian Camp Spring. To the west, the Shoshone Basin opens up, while the Basin Cut-Off Rd serves as a primary transit route through the foothills.

Local topography is deeply etched by gulches such as Ruby Gulch and Quartz Gulch, which drain towards Goose Cr along the eastern edge. The map also captures the administrative boundary between Twin Falls and Cassia counties, a line that cuts through high-elevation features like Pot Hole Basin. This 2017 survey reflects a remote interior landscape where seasonal water and topographic barriers dictate human movement and land use.
