1946 Map of C.J. Strike Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

C J Strike Dam stands as a central industrial landmark where the Bruneau River meets the Snake River at the border of Owyhee and Elmore counties. This 1946 survey, revised in the late 1970s, captures the significant engineering of the C J Strike Reservoir and its associated Powerplant. Beyond the modern infrastructure, the map preserves the path of the Emigrant Trail as it snakes along the southern bluffs above the reservoir, marking a historical corridor of westward movement. The surrounding landscape of Little Valley is defined by its arid character, dotted with an Artesian Well and various water sources like Canyon Creek, which contrast sharply with the massive artificial water body created by the dam. The mapping of the reservoir at a normal pool elevation of 2455 feet provides a precise look at the shoreline before further development or environmental shifts in the Idaho high desert.
