About this map

Wapi Flow Craters of the Moon National Preserve dominates the southwestern corner of this Idaho landscape, marking a stark geological boundary where volcanic terrain meets the agricultural grid of Pleasant Valley. This area in Bingham County illustrates the transition from the basaltic flows of the Snake River Plain to the developed farmsteads and rural infrastructure of the early 21st century. The map reveals a dense network of locally named thoroughfares such as Burgemeister Rd, Quigley Rd, and Schritter Rd, which reflect the area's settled history and land ownership patterns. The alignment of Lava Beds Rd and Wapi Rd highlights how human movement was dictated by the edge of the lava fields, providing a clear visual record of how the landscape's natural features shaped the development of its transportation network.
