2010 Map of Brigham Point

About this map

Brigham Point and the prominent rising of Whiskey Butte anchor this high-desert landscape in Blaine County during the early 21st century. The geography is defined by its water management systems and remote intersections, most notably Cream Can Junction in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. A network of reservoirs and ephemeral water bodies, including Gabettas Reservoir, Big Sinks Reservoir, and Antelope Reservoir, suggests a landscape utilized for livestock grazing and seasonal water catchment. The historical Minidoka to Arco Rd traverses the southern terrain, connecting the basin through a series of namesake lakes such as Split Road Lake and Split Butte Lake. This survey provides a clear look at the hydraulic infrastructure of the region, from the Section Corner Reservoir to the aptly named Crossroad Lake.
