About this map

Magic Reservoir dominates the eastern boundary of this high-desert landscape where the Big Wood River and Camas Creek converge. The shoreline is punctuated by local gathering points such as Moonstone Landing, Hot Springs Landing, and the seasonal hub of Magic Resort. This 2013 survey illustrates the intersection of recreation and ranching, as private holdings like Rowley Ranch and Rock Creek Ranch sit tucked between the foothills of Moonstone Mtn and the broad expanse of the Camas Prairie.

Irrigation and water management are central to the terrain, evidenced by the intricate system of the Northside Slough and various catchments like Grouse Reservoir and Floyds Reservoir. The southern reaches transition into the volcanic topography of Lava Canyon and the Mount Bennett Hills, where numerous springs including Water Cress Spring and Cold Spring emerge from the basaltic layers. Small-scale aviation is represented by the Magic Reservoir Airport, serving the isolated settlements and ranches along the county line.
