2013 Map of Pagari Well

About this map

Craters of the Moon National Preserve dominates the eastern half of this landscape, where volcanic topography meets the agricultural periphery of the Snake River Plain. In the northwest, the convergence of the Little Wood River and Silver Creek provides a stark contrast to the arid lava fields, supporting a network of water management features like the West Canal. This 2013 survey illustrates the boundary between the protected volcanic wilderness and the grazing lands of the high desert. Scattered landmarks such as Monument Butte and the eponymous Pagari Well serve as critical navigation points in an area defined by its geological isolation. The map traces the transition between Blaine and Lincoln counties, marking the limits of ranching infrastructure as represented by Durfee Rd and Shed Rd.
