2010 Map of Atomic City

About this map

Atomic City serves as the focal point of this high-desert landscape in southeastern Idaho, situated along a network of remote access roads. The small grid of the settlement is positioned near the intersection of Upper Alder Creek Rd and Twin Buttes Rd, reflecting the area's history as a support community for regional scientific and energy research. The terrain is defined by volcanic features and high plains, notably marked by the Table Legs Butte to the southeast. Water is a critical and sparse resource here, represented by the isolated Cottontail Waterhole. Transportation through this vast expanse relies on thoroughfares like Taber Rd and the Main Road to Hwy 26, while the Midway Airport provides a necessary aviation link in this open territory.
