2020 Map of Shoshone Ice Cave

About this map

The Big Wood River carves through this high desert terrain at the boundary of Blaine and Lincoln Counties, revealing a landscape defined by volcanic geology and intensive water management. The presence of Black Butte Crater and Wedge Butte highlights the area's volcanic origins, while a complex network of man-made waterways like the Richfield Main Canal, Richfield Canal, and Lincoln Bypass Canal illustrates the effort to reclaim this arid land for agriculture. Near the small settlement of Burmah, the intersection of Old Hwy 93 and various irrigation channels like Lateral 156 and Cottonwood Slough demonstrates the local reliance on the river's flow. Further north, specialized infrastructure including Trestle Reservoir and Culvert Reservoir near Dinosaur Ridge serves the Picabo Desert region, supporting a mix of ranching and desert access through routes like W Magic Rd and Burma Rd.
