2017 Map of Teapot Dome

About this map

Teapot Dome and the adjacent Teapot Basin anchor this high-desert landscape in Elmore County, revealing a region defined by water management and historic movement. The terrain is marked by a network of drainage systems, including Rattlesnake Cr and Hot Springs Cr, which are supported by numerous named water sources such as Frenchman Spring and Rattlesnake Spring. This map illustrates the vital role of local irrigation and livestock infrastructure through several small impoundments, most notably Lamberton Reservoir, Keith Reservoir, and John Hoffman Reservoir. Further south, the presence of Hot Springs suggests geothermal activity that has long influenced the geography of the area. A sense of historical transit remains visible through the alignment of the NE Immigrant Rd, which traverses the northern reaches of the quadrangle.
