2023 Map of Bone

About this map

Bone serves as the central settlement in this high-altitude landscape where the Blackfoot Mountains meet the high desert plains. The topography is defined by significant ridges and summits, including Birch Creek Mtn and Ziegler Mtn, which frame a complex network of drainages. Of particular geological interest is the Willow Creek Lava Field, a distinct volcanic feature situated east of the main settlement. The map reveals the intricate water systems that have shaped the region, from the primary course of Willow Creek to seasonal drainages like Canyon Creek and Sellars Creek. A network of backcountry routes, such as Bone Rd and Sellers Creek Rd, provides access across the Bonneville and Bingham County line. This modern survey is an essential resource for understanding the contemporary geography of this part of Idaho, tracing the transition from rugged mountain divides like the Double W Divide to the unique volcanic terrain of the lava fields.
