1992 Map of Crater Rings

About this map

Crater Rings, a pair of volcanic pit craters, dominate this high desert landscape in Elmore County. The terrain is marked by the volcanic legacy of the Snake River Plain, featuring landmarks such as Cinder Butte and North Crater. Human infrastructure is defined by the diagonal corridor of the Old Highway and a primary Pipeline cutting through the arid flats. To the south, the Snake River Birds of Prey Area encompasses the dramatic rim of the Snake River canyon, where Canyon Creek meets the main waterway. The map also documents the northern edge of the Mountain Home Air Force Base, including its military reservation boundary and Small Arms Range. Sparse settlements like Cleft and Sebree are situated along the transportation routes, reflecting the region's scattered ranching and military presence during the late twentieth century.
