2013 Map of Cinder Cone Butte

About this map

Cinder Cone Butte rises as a prominent topographical landmark along the shared border of Ada and Elmore counties in this high-desert region of southwestern Idaho. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape largely defined by sparse drainage patterns and straight-line infrastructure. Waterways such as Squaw Cr and Canyon Cr wind through the terrain, while the isolated P and R Field Airport stands out as a focal point for local aviation and transit in an area characterized by vast open ranges. A network of rural routes, including Simco Rd, Lewis Rd, and Reynolds Rd, provides the primary framework for movement across the township and range grids. The map captures the intersection of natural volcanic features and modern rural development, offering a clear view of how surveyors and land managers partitioned this arid corridor south of the Boise area.
