2013 Map of Black Ridge Crater

About this map

Black Ridge Crater dominates the southwestern portion of this Lincoln County landscape, a prominent volcanic landmark situated within the expansive Snake River Plains. This 2013 survey delineates the stark, open topography of the high desert, where subtle contour lines reveal the complex volcanic geology that defines this region of Idaho. The map is largely structured by the Public Land Survey System, showing the intersection of several townships including t4s r21e and t5s r22e. With very few man-made structures or developments present, the map highlights the natural state of the Idaho plains, serving as a clean record of the area's geomorphology before any modern encroachment or significant land-use changes.
