2011 Map of Snake River Butte

About this map

Henrys Fork and the Warm River converge in this corner of Idaho, creating a landscape defined by significant water features and recreational sites. The descent of the river system is marked by the dramatic Upper Mesa Falls and Lower Mesa Falls, with the Grandview Overlook providing a vantage point over the canyon. Near the small settlement of Gerrit, the Warm River Fish Hatchery and Warm River Spring highlight the importance of the local aquatic ecosystem. The map also captures the varied land use of the early 21st century, from the Bear Gulch Ski Area and Bear Gulch Campground to the industrial Bear Gulch Gravel Pit. Notable elevations such as Snake River Butte and Elk Butte overlook a network of forest and service roads like Pioneer Rd and Warm River Rd, which connect the remote terrain to water control points like Cherry Dam.
