2017 Map of Schodde Well

About this map

Craters of the Moon National Monument dominates this portion of the Snake River Plain, where the complex volcanic geology of the region is documented in fine detail. The map features the sprawling Wapi Flow, a significant basaltic lava field that defines the topography of southern Idaho. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey traces the intricate contouring of these lava beds as they intersect with early water developments like Schodde Well. The landscape is primarily defined by these recent volcanic formations, illustrating the intersection of federally protected geological wonders and the practical infrastructure required for land use in this arid environment.
