Marker Text:
Map Rock Petroglyphs are unusual in both their intensity and quality. They serve as representational and unique examples of rock art. Map Rock has been a local land mark since its discovery in 1872. Map Rock is a map of the Snake River and it’s tributaries. It was suggested to have been a guide to prehistoric and
historic people. Rock carvings are found along game or fishing grounds and in areas with wild plant foods. Map Rock is believed to be carved by the prehistoric people to induce success in hunts or other activities.
