2024 Map of Little Joe Butte

About this map

The Orchard Combat Training Center occupies a significant portion of this high desert terrain in Ada County, reflecting the area's contemporary role in military readiness. The landscape is defined by its distinct volcanic topography, anchored by Little Joe Butte in the southeast and Wind Butte in the northwest. These volcanic features rise above the surrounding plains, providing natural landmarks in an otherwise open environment. Drainage for the region is primarily handled by Corder Creek, which winds through the central and western sections of the map. A sparse network of service roads, including S Range Rd and E Cinder Butte Rd, provides the only vehicular access through this training range, illustrating the balance between modern infrastructure and preserved open land.
