2017 Map of Halfway Lake

About this map

Wildhorse Butte rises as a prominent landmark above the surrounding high desert terrain in this section of the Snake River Plains. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a landscape defined by seasonal water and volcanic topography. The presence of several ephemeral basins, including Halfway Lake, Mud Flat Lake, and the West and South variants of W Wildhorse Lake, suggests a drainage pattern typical of the arid Lincoln County interior. Grounded in the Public Land Survey System, the map detail shows the precise township and range boundaries through T4S and T5S, while sparse infrastructure such as Shale Butte Rd and Kamimah Rd provides the primary access points across the open range. It is an essential document for understanding contemporary land use and topographic relief in a sparsely populated region of Idaho.
