2017 Map of Bone

About this map

Bone occupies a high-desert landscape where the Blackfoot Mountains meet the vast Willow Creek Lava Field. This 2017 survey details a remote portion of Bonneville and Bingham counties, defined by the drainage systems of Birch Cr, Willow Cr, and the Grays Lake Outlet. The map illustrates a rugged topography of ridges and peaks, including Birch Creek Mtn, Ziegler Mtn, and the distinctive Coyote Ridge. Transportation through these highlands relies on established corridors like Bone RD and Sellers Creek RD, which follow the natural contours of the land. The presence of Wolverine Canyon and the numerous named creeks, such as Noon Cr and Rock Cr, highlights the complex hydrology of this part of Idaho. From the high point at The Saddle to the open expanse of Long Valley, the map provides an essential record of the area's geological and human geography.
