About this map

Mountain Home Air Force Base occupies the eastern edge of this landscape, its structured perimeter and Small Arms Range standing in sharp contrast to the surrounding high desert terrain. To the west, the Idaho National Guard Training and Maneuver Area covers a large section of the basalt-rich plateau north of the Snake River. The map reveals a region heavily defined by federal land use and environmental conservation, highlighted by the Birds of Prey Area Boundary which protects the unique raptor habitat along the river's canyon walls.

Hydrological engineering is visible at the southern border, where the C J Strike Res meets the Strike Dam Road. Significant infrastructure includes the Aqueduct near the base and a Pumping Sta near the river, supporting both military operations and local agricultural needs. Roadways like Simco Road and Grand View Highway provide the primary transit links across the undulating desert floor between Squaw Creek and Canyon Creek.
