2017 Map of Shoshone Ice Cave

About this map

The Shoshone Ice Cave stands as a focal point in this high-desert landscape, located south of the prominent Dinosaur Ridge. The terrain is defined by volcanic and hydrological features, including the Black Butte Crater and a complex network of water management infrastructure. The Big Wood River meanders through the central portion of the map, supported by an intricate system of man-made waterways such as the Richfield Main Canal, Lincoln Bypass Canal, and the Richfield Canal to the south. These canals, alongside several storage sites like Cottonwood Reservoir and Reservoir Number Ninety-Three, illustrate the intensive irrigation efforts required to support agriculture and settlement in this portion of Idaho. Near the southern border, the settlement of Burmah is situated along the Cottonwood Slough, providing a specific point of interest for local historians studying the rural development and transit routes of the region.
