2020 Map of Carey

About this map

Carey serves as the central hub of this high-desert agricultural and wildlife landscape, where the Little Wood River flows through a valley defined by significant water management and volcanic geology. The area's history is anchored by the Carey Pioneer Cem and the Carey Cem, reflecting generations of settlement along the eastern edge of the Lake Hills. A complex network of irrigation, including the High Line Canal, W Canal, and E Canal, supports the local farms before the terrain gives way to the basalt flows of the Craters of the Moon National Preserve in the southeast. Significant conservation areas like the Carey Lake Migratory Bird Management Area highlight the importance of local wetlands and springs, such as North Queens Crown Springs, which provide critical habitat amidst the surrounding ridges of Queens Crown and various rugged canyons.
