About this map

Yandell Springs and the surrounding high country of the Fort Hall Indian Reservation define this 2017 survey on the border of Bingham and Bannock counties. The landscape is characterized by a network of drainage basins and named springs, including Buckskin Spring, Coyote Spring, and Martin Spring, which feed into the Ross Fork creek system. This water-scarce environment is managed through significant irrigation infrastructure, notably the Metz Ditch and Farmer Ditch visible in the southwest.

Elevation changes are marked by prominent features like Yandell Mtn, Dare Peak, and the landmark White Rock. Remote access is provided by a grid of specialized roads such as Gay Mine Rd and Danielson Basin Rd, while the topography funnels toward The Narrows in the southern portion of the sheet. The map documents a rugged interior of Idaho, where ranching and resource management are etched into the terrain through basins like Sage Hen Basin and the isolated Lone Pine Canyon.
