2023 Map of Rattlesnake Butte

About this map

Craters of the Moon National Preserve dominates this portion of the Snake River Plain, where the volcanic topography of the Wapi Flow creates a distinct, sparsely populated landscape. The map captures the boundary lines between Blaine County and Power County, illustrating how modern administrative borders intersect with ancient geological features. To the east, the terrain transitions into Pleasant Valley, where the land begins to level out away from the lava beds. Though infrastructure is minimal in this protected region, historical access is traced through routes like Gehring Rd and Wapi Rd, which skirt the edges of the preserve and provide connection through the high desert environment.
