1979 Map of Carey
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
The agricultural and geological boundaries of Blaine County meet near Carey, where the southern edge of the Little Wood River valley hits an expanse of Lava flows. In the late 1970s, the irrigation infrastructure necessary for high-desert farming was well-established, evidenced by the West Canal, East Canal, and technical features like a Flume and Siphon. The local community is anchored by the High Sch, County Fairgrounds, and the Carey Cemetery, while the presence of Hot Springs Ranch and various thermal outlets like Spring (Hot) near Carey Lake point to the area's geothermal activity. North of town, the terrain transitions into deep cuts like Box Canyon and Phillips Canyon, illustrating the contrast between the fertile valley floor and the surrounding volcanic and mountainous highlands.
