2020 Map of Fingers Butte

About this map

Craters Of The Moon National Preserve dominates the southwestern portion of this high-desert landscape in Butte County. The terrain is defined by a series of volcanic features and isolated rises, including Wildhorse Butte, Cruthers Butte, and Saddle Butte. Human intervention in this arid environment is evidenced by the presence of the Fingers Butte Reservoir, which sits adjacent to the namesake Fingers Butte. This modern survey illustrates the sparse infrastructure of the region, where the unpaved Arco-Minidoka Rd provides a primary point of access through the sagebrush steppe. The map provides a clear look at the township and range divisions across this section of the Snake River Plain, documenting the isolation of landmarks like Huddles Hole within the vast preserve boundaries.
