1972 Map of Community Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Lincoln and Minidoka County line bisects this 1970s landscape, revealing a high desert environment heavily modified for water storage and livestock. The area is defined by its series of man-made and seasonal water features, notably the Section 28 Reservoir and the Kimama Marsh Reservoir, which stand alongside naturally occurring basins like Community Lake. This infrastructure reflects the region's agricultural adaptation, where the management of scarce water resources was central to sustaining life on the Idaho plains. Isolated landmarks such as the Peavey Well and a solitary Water Tank indicate the vital role of groundwater extraction in this arid terrain. Scattered across the quadrangle, several smaller pools including Section 25 Lake, Halfway Lake, and Little Lake highlight the topography's natural depressions and their importance to local land use during the early 1970s.
