2010 Map of Nichols Reservoir

About this map

Nichols Reservoir sits as a central water feature in this portion of Butte County, where the high desert landscape is defined by irrigation systems and isolated outposts. The Blaine Canal cuts a distinct path through the terrain, illustrating the managed water network essential to the region's agricultural viability. To the northeast, the Soelberg Ranch provides a specific point of human settlement amidst the broad, open stretches of the Idaho interior. Movement through this area is facilitated by established routes like Blizzard Mt Rd and 3800 West, while seasonal watercourses such as Timbered Dome Creek and Champagne Creek trace the natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped land use in this part of the state.
