About this map

Craters of the Moon National Monument defines the western edge of this Blaine County landscape, where the volcanic terrain meets the high desert. This 2017 survey shows a region managed for both conservation and livestock, evidenced by the numerous small catchments and pools scattered across the basin. Important water sources for local ranching operations include Big Sinks Reservoir, Gabettas Reservoir, and Antelope Reservoir.

Logistics in this portion of the Snake River Plain center on the Minidoka to Arco Rd, which passes through Cream Can Junction in the east. The topography is marked by distinct landmarks like Brigham Point and Whiskey Butte, which rise above the surrounding flats. For those tracing the geography of southeastern Idaho, the map details the intersection of county lines and township grids, including the border of Minidoka and Blaine counties.
