2010 Map of Cinder Cone Butte

About this map

Cinder Cone Butte stands as the primary landmark in this section of the Idaho landscape, surrounded by a network of rural routes and drainage patterns. The area is defined by the winding course of Squaw Creek, which meanders across the central and southern portions of the quadrangle, eventually joined by Canyon Creek in the southeast. This 2010 survey illustrates the organized grid of desert roads, including the long north-south stretch of Simco Rd and the east-west alignment of Range Rd. The sparse infrastructure, consisting primarily of named tracks like Moddy Rd and Lewis Rd, suggests a landscape primarily used for grazing or access to the volcanic features of the Snake River Plain. The layout of N Cinder Butte Rd and S Cinder Butte Rd provides a clear view of how local travel is structured around the prominent butte.
