2017 Map of Pratt Butte

About this map

Craters of the Moon National Monument dominates this part of the Snake River Plain, where the volcanic landscape is defined by the massive geologic feature known as the Great Rift. The terrain is characterized by ancient lava flows and volcanic cones, with Pratt Butte serving as a prominent landmark in the center of the sheet. The boundary between Butte County and Blaine County cuts across these volcanic fields, marking a desolate region where human infrastructure is nearly non-existent. To the southeast, Rattlesnake Butte stands near the edge of the rift, while the presence of Heifer Reservoir suggests the limited and managed water resources necessary for range management in this arid Idaho environment.
