2017 Map of Magic Reservoir West

About this map

Magic Reservoir serves as the central focal point for this high-desert landscape where the Big Wood River meets the expansive southern Idaho plains. The map illustrates a transition from the volcanic and mountainous terrain of Moonstone Mtn and the Mount Bennett Hills down to the alluvial floor of the Camas Prairie and Macon Flat. The shorelines of the reservoir are marked by distinctive landmarks like Myrtle Point and the small settlement of Magic, which is supported by the Magic Reservoir Airport. Local water management is evident through a network of small upland impoundments such as Magpie Reservoir, Grouse Reservoir, and Floyds Reservoir. Geologic features like Lava Canyon and numerous springs, including Roseberry Springs and Cold Spring, underscore the hydrologic complexity of this volcanic region.
