About this map

The Big Wood River meanders through the Wood River Valley in this detailed 2010 survey of the area east of the Magic Reservoir. The landscape is defined by its water management and diverse terrain, from the waters of Magic City to the high points of Timmerman Hills and Rattlesnake Butte. Evidence of early agricultural and industrial activity is scattered across the flats, including the Uhrig Mine and several named springs such as Martin Spring and Wurst Spring.

Infrastructure like Magic Dam and the Swinging Bridge highlight the engineering required to navigate and utilize this semi-arid environment. Local history is preserved in the location of the Timmerman Cemetery and small settlements like Sisters Grove. This edition captures the network of access roads like Poverty Flat Rd and Picabo Desert Rd that crisscross the valley between volcanic features and river crossings at Stanton Crossing.
