2024 Map of Little Park

About this map

Craters of the Moon National Wilderness Area dominates the eastern landscape of this quadrangle, situated along the border of Blaine and Butte counties. This high-desert terrain is characterized by its volcanic origins, featuring isolated geological islands of vegetation known as kipukas, such as Carey Kipuka. The transition between protected lands is evident here, as the wilderness area meets the Craters of the Moon National Preserve and the Craters of the Moon National Monument to the south. Laidlaw Park Rd provides the primary passage through this section of the Snake River Plain, winding past the local feature of Litte Park. The map captures a region primarily dedicated to federal preservation, where the lack of traditional settlements highlights the preservation of a distinct and primitive volcanic environment.
