About this map

Pronghorn Reservoir and the surrounding high desert terrain dominate this northern Minidoka County landscape, captured by the U. S. Geological Survey in the early 21st century. The map provides a detailed look at the hydrology of a predominantly arid region, where small, isolated catchments like Bottleneck Lake and Three Forks Lake are vital markers on the terrain.

Remote unimproved roads weave through the sagebrush, connecting these water sources and providing access for land management. The presence of Lower Thumb Reservoir and South End Lake underscores the importance of water storage and drainage in this corner of Idaho, where the topography is defined by subtle elevation changes rather than prominent peaks. This survey preserves the exact location of these seasonal and permanent water bodies as they functioned during the 2009–2010 monitoring period.
