1965 Map of Tuanna Butte

About this map

Salmon Falls Creek carves a deep, winding canyon through this high desert plateau, dictating the movement of travelers and water in Twin Falls County. The topography is dominated by two prominent volcanic landmarks, Tuanna Butte and Devil Creek Butte, which rise above the surrounding sagebrush plains. A network of early infrastructure is evident through named thoroughfares like North Road and East Rd., while more primitive routes are marked by a Jeep Trail cutting across the landscape. The confluence of these waterways and the rugged descent into the canyon at Big Bend Crossing highlights a classic Idaho high-desert environment before modern land-use patterns fully reshaped the area. This 1960s survey provides a clear view of the drainage patterns of Devil Creek and Blue Gulch Creek as they feed into the primary gorge.
