About this map

The Little Wood River and Silver Creek converge in the northwestern corner of this 1970s survey, marking a distinct transition between riparian hydrology and the stark volcanic geology of southern Idaho. The central landscape is dominated by extensive fields of Lava, which cross the boundary between Blaine County and Lincoln County. This topography is largely uninhabited, defined by its geological character rather than urban development.

Remote infrastructure is sparse, concentrated around critical water sources like Pagari Well and the Monument Butte Well. Evidence of human activity is limited to a network of Jeep Trails and specific landmarks such as the Water Tank and Monument Butte. The map serves as a record of the region’s mid-century rural utility, showing how survey markers and isolated wells provided essential navigation and resource points in a difficult-to-settle environment.
