1973 Map of Coffee Point NE

About this map

Sheep Lake Reservoir and Duck Lake Reservoir anchor the eastern portion of this high-desert landscape in Bingham County during the early 1970s. This territory is defined by its water management and livestock infrastructure, marked by numerous basins and scattered water sources necessary for ranging in an arid environment. A long Jeep Trail cuts through the northern sections, providing one of the few established routes across the terrain near Camp Reservoir. The map reveals a land geared toward utility, where the distribution of Well sites across the southern and western reaches highlights the critical importance of groundwater access for the ranching operations that have shaped this portion of Idaho. This survey captures a moment before modern development, focusing on the essential hydrological and navigational markers that defined rural life in the region.
