2010 Map of Community Lake

About this map

Community Lake sits at the center of this 2010 topographic survey of Minidoka County, serving as a primary landmark in a landscape defined by water management and volcanic geography. The terrain is characterized by a network of reservoirs and small lakes, including Kimama Marsh Reservoir and Flat Top Reservoir, which suggest the vital role of irrigation and drainage in this Idaho high desert environment. The presence of Kimama Cave Rd and Bear Trap Cave Rd provides clear evidence of the area's subterranean volcanic features, hinting at the lava tubes and caverns that lie beneath the surface. To the south, smaller water bodies such as Halfway Lake and Little Lake mark the edges of more developed agricultural lands, contrasting with the more open, feature-sparse northern sections of the quadrangle.
