1964 Map of Rays Lake

About this map

Camas National Wildlife Refuge and the Mud Lake State Wildlife Management Area dominate this high-desert wetland system in eastern Idaho. The 1964 survey captures a landscape defined by water management and natural drainage, where Camas Creek feeds into a network of marshes and open water, including Rays Lake and the northern reaches of Mud Lake. The presence of several human-engineered water systems like the Independent Ditch and Jackett Canal underscores the region's reliance on irrigation and habitat preservation.
