2013 Map of Teapot Dome

About this map

Teapot Dome and the adjacent Teapot Basin define the eastern landscape of this Elmore County region, where water management is central to the high desert terrain. Several mid-century water features, including the John Hoffman Reservoir, Lamberton Reservoir, and Keith Reservoir, illustrate the historical efforts to harness seasonal runoff in an arid environment. The presence of Frenchman Spring and the Hot Springs near Hot Springs Cr highlights the geothermal and groundwater characteristics of the Snake River Plain hinterland. A network of rural arteries like Hot Springs Rd and Worth Lee Rd provide access to these remote landmarks, which remain vital reference points for local land use and hydrology.
