About this map

Warm River winds through this high-altitude landscape of eastern Idaho, cutting a drainage path through the volcanic terrain of the Targhee National Forest. The map centers on the small settlements of Eccles and Pineview, which serve as anchor points in an area defined by prominent basaltic and rhyolitic formations such as Hatchery Butte, Eccles Butte, and Ripley Butte.

A network of forest service roads including Griffel Rd, Eccles Rd, and Elk Butte Rd reveals the area's ongoing use for timber management and outdoor recreation. Water sources are critical in this dry upland environment, noted by the presence of Black Spring and the secluded Lily Pond tucked between ridges. The inclusion of numerous land divisions, such as PB 42 and PB 46, indicates a complex history of private and public land management within the national forest boundaries.
