About this map

The Portneuf River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, anchoring the namesake settlement of Lava Hot Springs and its surrounding canyon topography. This modern survey illustrates the intersection of historical transit routes and specialized local infrastructure, notably the Old Oregon Trail Rd which skirts the river valley. The town's layout is well-defined by streets such as E Elm St and Fife St, while the local Lava Hot Springs Cem and Lava Hot Springs Airport sit on the higher benches overlooking the water.

Southward, the terrain transitions into the steep slopes of the Portneuf Range, carved by numerous named drainages including Dempsey Creek and Beaverdam Creek. The map records various water sources essential to the high-desert environment, such as Welcome Spring and Christenson Spring, as well as landmarks like Mt Moh. A network of rural roads like S Smith Canyon Rd and E Virginia Rd provides access to the many canyons that define the region's geography.
