About this map

Tuanna Butte and the surrounding high desert plateau define this landscape in Twin Falls County. The area is characterized by significant volcanic landmarks, including the prominent Devil Creek Butte and the vast expanse of the Bruneau Desert extending to the northwest. This terrain is deeply etched by the winding path of Salmon Falls Cr, which cuts a dramatic canyon through the volcanic rock, joined by the smaller drainage of Devil Cr.

Agricultural infrastructure is evident on the eastern side of the survey area, where the High Line Canal follows the contour of the land. The map reveals a network of rural routes such as Lily Grade Rd and Big Bend Rd, which facilitate movement across the arid gulches. The survey provides a clear view of how water management and topography dictate the limited settlement patterns between Blue Gulch and the canyon rims.
