2020 Map of Lava Lake Reservoir

About this map

Lava Lake Reservoir and its surrounding water bodies define this remote stretch of the Upper Snake River Plain. This 2020 survey of southeastern Idaho focuses on a high-desert landscape shaped by seasonal hydrology and the infrastructure needed to manage it. The map traces the expanse of Wood Road Lake and Grover Lake Reservoir, which serve as vital water resources in a region dominated by sagebrush and volcanic features. Human presence is largely defined by the grid-like Public Land Survey System and the long thoroughfares that cut across the basin. The southern edge of the quadrangle is anchored by the Big Butte Springfield Rd, while Taber Rd skirts the northeastern boundary, providing the primary links for local ranching and agricultural transport across Bingham County.
