1972 Map of Bear Den Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Lava flows of the Snake River Plain dominate this 1970s landscape, creating a stark volcanic corridor that separates the western rangelands from the eastern buttes. Stretching across the Blaine Co Minidoka Co line, the map reveals a reliance on water management in an arid environment, marked by a series of small, scattered catchments such as Bowl Reservoir, Purdy Reservoir, and Moline Res. These features, along with the numerous namesake lakes like Guts Lake and Cream Can Lake, illustrate the vital role of seasonal water sources for livestock and local land use.
