2010 Map of Gifford Spring

About this map

Lake Walcott dominates the southern edge of this Idaho landscape, where the waters of the Snake River are held in a wide basin. The terrain is defined by its isolation and the stark infrastructure required to navigate it, characterized by the remote settlement of Wapi situated along the northern tracks. This 2010 survey shows a network of desert routes, including Wapi Rd and W Lake Channel Rd, which provide access to the riverbank and the distinct shoreline features like Bonanza Bar and Tule Island. The map illustrates a transitional environment where the managed water of the reservoir meets the high desert, providing a clear record of the access points and named landmarks used by local travelers and water managers in this portion of Cassia County.
