1964 Map of Rays Lake

About this map

Camas Creek meanders through a landscape defined by significant water management and wildlife conservation efforts during the mid-1960s. This desert-edge environment in Idaho is anchored by the National Wildlife Refuge, where the Refuge Headquarters and a Lookout Tower monitor the expansive wetlands of Rays Lake and Two-way Pond. The map reveals a complex network of man-made irrigation features, including the Camas Creek Canal, Independent Ditch, and Holly Canal, which contrast with the natural volcanic topography of Table Butte and the eroded slopes of The Breaks.
