1973 Map of Lava Lake Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Lava flows of the Snake River Plain dominate this 1970s landscape, illustrating a terrain defined by volcanic activity and sparse water resources. In a region where surface water is a critical landmark, the Lava Lake Reservoir and Grover Lake Reservoir provide essential catchment points amidst the basalt. Smaller features like Wood Road Lake further emphasize the hydrological management required in this environment. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the steady presence of the Union Pacific railroad, which cuts a straight line through the rugged topography, serving as the primary infrastructure link through Bingham County. Industrial activity is represented by the WT No 2 Well, suggesting mid-century resource exploration in an otherwise desolate geologic field.
