2011 Map of Howe

About this map

Howe serves as the primary settlement on this Idaho landscape, situated where the high desert meets the foothills. The settlement pattern is defined by the Little Lost River Hwy, which follows the path of the Little Lost River as it flows southeast toward the sinks. This watercourse is the lifeblood of the valley, joined by tributaries like Warm Spring Creek and Hurst Creek. To the west, the terrain rises sharply into the mountains, marked by the prominent Jumpoff Peak and the deep incisions of Jumpoff Canyon and Taylor Canyon. The presence of the Howe Airport and a grid of rural roads such as Berenice Rd and Mays Rd highlights the intersection of aviation and agriculture in this high-altitude basin during the early 21st century.
