About this map

The Big Wood River meanders across this landscape, feeding into the northern reaches of the Magic Reservoir. This Idaho high-desert region is defined by volcanic and alluvial landforms, including the prominent Rattlesnake Butte and the elevation of Ditto Hill. Human settlement is centered around Magic City on the reservoir's eastern shore, while the surrounding area remains largely open rangeland and flats.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of the Timmerman Cem and named geographic markers like Mahoney Flat and Sonners Flat. The map documents a network of rural roads such as Silver Creek Rd and Picabo Desert Rd, which provide access to seasonal springs like Timmerman Spring and Spud Patch Spring. These features illustrate the precarious balance of water and land in the arid terrain south of the Timmerman Hills.
