It seems to me that the Goose Creek he is referring to is in Idaho, I base this
judgement on the fact that they are on the Snake River before they come to
Goose Creek, unfortunately that doesn't narrow it down as easily as it might.
Of the 255 Goose Creeks listed in the USGS locator results I got; NINE of them
are in Idaho, but I think we can safely rule out all but two of them. </span></font></p>

you should be able to just click on that link (??? too late at night for me to

I was unable to locate a Salmon Falls that fit in to the scheme of thier
travel, both of the Salmon falls that I located are on the Salmon river.</span></font></p>

further study this looks unlikely to be your Hirams burial, check with the
Burley gen soc or historical society and see if they know anything about him,
as the lower Goose Creek I list here emptys out in the middle of Burley. I
guess the big question is where the Oregon Trail went in that neighborhood. It
looks like it "could" have followed Jordan Creek through that area on
the way to the Powder river, but I can't be sure.</span></font></p>
