About this map

Sand Dunes dominate the eastern landscape of this high-altitude interior region, showing the wind-sculpted topography of the Snake River Plain during the mid-1960s. The border between Clark Co and Fremont Co bisects the area, where the terrain shifts from shifting sands to a sparse network of water sources. Small-scale hydrologic features such as a Water Tank and scattered Wells indicate the critical importance of water management for livestock or seasonal land use in this arid environment. Navigation across this territory is defined by primitive infrastructure, primarily a rugged Jeep Trail that cuts through the open country. In the north, Camas Creek provides a natural landmark within a landscape otherwise defined by subtle elevation changes and the distinctive, shifting forms of the massive dune fields.
