2017 Map of Lake Walcott East

About this map

Lake Walcott and the winding Snake River dominate the southern portion of this landscape, marking the boundary between Blaine and Cassia counties. The northern reaches transition into the volcanic terrain of Craters Of The Moon National Monument, featuring the distinct textures of the Wapi Flow. This area serves as a significant intersection of conservation and history, where the Minidoka National Wildlife Refuge protects the wetlands and islands, including Bird Island, while the historic Oregon Trail cuts across the southeastern corner. Small settlements and local landmarks, such as DeWoff and Brigham Point, punctuate the high desert. The presence of Smith Springs and the network of ranch roads like Irwin Ranch Rd and Owyhee Farms Ranch Rd illustrate the enduring agricultural and pastoral management of this Snake River Plain environment.
