2020 Map of Hatchery Butte

About this map

The Henrys Fork Caldera and Island Park Caldera define the geological character of this section of the Targhee National Forest. The landscape is a network of volcanic landforms and drainage patterns, where Warm River and Worm River flow through a terrain marked by distinctive rises like Hatchery Butte, Ripley Butte, and Eccles Butte. Human presence is concentrated along a historic Railroad Right-Of-Way that passes through the small settlements of Eccles and Pineview. The local geography is further detailed by numerous named forest access points, including N Hatchery Butte and several numbered spurs. This map captures a unique intersection of geothermal history and early 21st-century forest management, showing how transport corridors like Eccles Rd and S Hatchery Butte Rd navigate the complex caldera floor.
