About this map

Craters of the Moon National Preserve covers the central portion of this landscape, showcasing the volcanic geology of the Snake River Plain. The terrain is defined by its distinct lava-formed features, including the Great Rift which cuts through the eastern sections of the quadrangle. This area is characterized by a lack of traditional infrastructure, instead emphasizing the natural topography and the preservation of geological formations such as New Butte and Park Butte.

Water features are notably scarce in this environment, with Deadhorse Reservoir standing out as the primary water body in the northeastern corner. The presence of Bear Park suggests a shift in the local ecology or elevation, providing a named point of reference within the broader expanse of the preserve. For researchers, the map provides a precise look at these protected lands and their intersection with the Public Land Survey System boundaries.
