1977 Map of Timber Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The high-desert terrain of the Sawtooth National Forest and Minidoka National Forest meets along the Idaho Nevada state line in this 1970s survey. The landscape is defined by the prominent peak of Timber Butte and the extensive Shoshone Basin, where a complex network of jeep trails provides access to isolated water sources. Numerous family-named and descriptive springs, such as Japanese Spring, Basque Spring, and Winecup Spring, indicate the historical importance of water for livestock and travel in this arid environment. The presence of the Deer Flat Bird Sanctuary overlays a large portion of the drainage basins, including Pot Hole Basin. Evidence of early human activity and resource exploration is visible through several labeled prospects and ruins, while significant water management is noted by features like the Water Tank and Pot Hole Spring No 2.
