1969 Map of Circular Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

National Reactor Testing Station dominates the central landscape of this Idaho high desert survey, illustrating a period of significant atomic research and federal land use. The terrain is defined by complex hydrological and volcanic features, including the Birch Creek Sinks and the Big Lost River, where water intermittently flows into several large depressions. The presence of the Owsley Canal in the southeast corner points to early regional attempts at irrigation and water management in an otherwise arid environment.
