About this map

The Union Pacific railroad corridor defines the central axis of this landscape within the Targhee National Forest in the mid-1960s. The tracks pass through the small settlement of Eccles and south toward Pineview, where a nearby Campground indicates the area's development for recreation. The topography is marked by prominent volcanic features, including Ripley Butte, Eccles Butte, and the namesake Hatchery Butte in the southwest corner.

Water sources are vital to this terrain, with the Warm River flowing through the eastern half, joined by Partridge Creek and Baker Draw. The presence of several named springs, such as Black Spring and various other unnamed Springs, alongside the Lily Pond, suggests a well-watered environment supporting local timber or grazing interests. Access into these wooded lands is facilitated by the Hatchery Butte Road and various unimproved trails that spider across the forest boundary.
