2023 Map of Bear Park West

About this map

Craters Of The Moon National Preserve dominates the southern half of this landscape, marking a terrain defined by volcanic history along the border of Blaine and Minidoka counties. The map captures the stark geological character of the Great Rift, which cuts across the northeastern sections of the quadrangle. In this environment, specific landmarks like Coyote Butte and Bear Park provide the only named reference points in an area largely shaped by vast lava flows and the Public Land Survey System grids of Township 2 South and Township 3 South. The lack of conventional roads or settlements emphasizes the specialized nature of this protected high-desert environment, where elevation contours and geological features are the primary indicators of place.
