1979 Map of Little Wood River Reservoir

About this map

Little Wood River Reservoir dominates this high-altitude landscape in Blaine County, where water management and ranching terrain converge. The reservoir, situated at an elevation of 5235 feet, serves as a central hub for the Little Wood River, which flows through wide drainage areas like Campbell Flats and Burgess Flats. The area's topography is marked by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Bell Mountain and Muldoon Summit to the deep recesses of Sawmill Canyon and Crooked Canyon. Extensive trail systems, including various Jeep Trails and Pack Trails, crisscross the ridges and creek bottoms, indicating a landscape utilized for recreation and resource management. Numerous water sources such as Last Chance Springs, Chokecherry Spring, and Sunset Spring dot the terrain, highlighting the critical importance of spring water in this mountainous Idaho environment during the late 1970s.
