2013 Map of Blizzard Mountain South

About this map

Craters of the Moon National Preserve dominates the southern landscape of this Idaho interior, where the high desert terrain meets complex geological formations. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Blizzard Mtn and Pioneer Mtn, which overlook a network of seasonal drainages including E Fork Fish Cr and Cottonwood Cr. A distinct transition occurs near Barn Canyon, where the rugged highlands descend toward the volcanic features of the preserve. In the southwestern quadrant, Lava Lake sits at the terminus of Copper Cr, while Ranch Rd provides a rare point of vehicle access through this remote section of Blaine County. The boundary between Blaine and Butte counties follows the eastern edge of the map, illustrating the jurisdictional divisions within this sparsely populated, high-altitude environment.
