1972 Map of Mule Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Great Rift and volcanic terrain define this 1970s landscape in Idaho's Blaine County. The survey provides a detailed look at the geologically active surface, characterized by massive Lava flows and prominent Cracks that scar the earth. Central to the map is the volcanic prominence of Mule Butte, which rises above a complex of primitive transportation routes including the Bear Trap Jeep Trail and the Tube Trail. Water is a scarce and vital commodity in this arid environment, represented by the ephemeral Indian Lake and the notably Sparks Well (Dry). The scarcity of permanent settlements and the prevalence of unimproved jeep trails suggest a landscape largely used for seasonal grazing or resource exploration during this era of mapping.
