2010 Map of Tunupa

About this map

Tunupa and its surrounding agricultural plains in Gooding County are defined by a complex network of water management and historic transit routes. The landscape is dominated by the convergent paths of the Big Wood River and the Little Wood River, which provide the essential irrigation for this high desert region. Evidence of early 21st-century water engineering is visible through the South Gooding Main Canal, Lateral B 1, and the Sliman Reservoir to the northwest. A notable connection to the area's pastoral heritage is preserved in the Wendell-Shoshone Sheep Trl, which meanders across the southern portion of the map. This route, alongside the Old Gooding Hwy, reflects the historical movement of livestock and commerce between regional centers before modern highway developments shifted local travel patterns.
