About this map

Craters of the Moon National Preserve covers the northern half of this Idaho landscape, where the volcanic history of Minidoka County is documented through a series of specialized water catchments and isolated basins. The arid nature of Larkspur Park is evident in the network of man-made infrastructure designed to manage sparse resources, including Mike Reservoir, Mabel Reservoir, and Halogeton Reservoir.

Transit through this high-desert terrain is defined by the Bear Trap Cave Rd, which cuts east-west across the central township line. Beyond the reservoirs, the map identifies naturally occurring depressions and seasonal water bodies such as School Section Lake, Brigham Point Lake, and Monument Lake. These features, along with Green Lake at the southern margin, provide critical markers for those studying the land use and hydrology of the eastern Snake River Plain.
