2017 Map of Little Park

About this map

Craters of the Moon National Monument defines the volcanic character of this section of the Snake River Plain, where the boundary between Blaine County and Butte County cuts through a landscape of lava and sage. The map highlights the transition from the protected federal monument into the grazing lands of Litte Park. Key water management for this arid region is marked by Junction Reservoir in the southeast corner. Transportation is limited to a few arterial routes like Laidlaw Park Rd, which provides access to the isolated grasslands of the Carey Kipuka, an island of vegetation surrounded by younger lava flows. The survey provides a clear view of the complex land management boundaries in this high-desert environment, showing how the township and range lines overlay the geological formations.
