2023 Map of Mosby Butte

About this map

Great Rift geometry dominates this 2023 survey of the high desert along the border of Blaine and Power counties. This arid landscape is characterized by volcanic landforms, notably the prominent cinder cone of Mosby Butte and the nearby Horse Butte. A significant portion of the southwestern corner is protected as part of the Craters of the Moon National Preserve, reflecting the unique geological heritage of the Snake River Plain. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the lonely transit of the Minidoka to Arco Rd as it cuts across the northern terrain. The map provides a clear record of section lines and township boundaries that organize this largely unpopulated expanse of public and private land.
