2023 Map of Split Rock

About this map

Butte Crater rises as a prominent landmark in this high-desert landscape of eastern Idaho, where the volcanic geology is reflected in both the terrain and the local infrastructure. The map documents a sparsely populated region defined by long, straight thoroughfares and section lines, with Red Rd serving as a primary corridor through the western portion of the quadrangle. This area, straddling the line between Clark and Fremont counties, shows a landscape dominated by topographic contouring and minimal development. The presence of Ice Cave Rd in the southeast corner hints at the unique subterranean features found in this lava-flow region. Researchers of the Snake River Plain will find the cartography provides a clear picture of the modern road network and legal boundaries, including the path of Crooked Rd, within an environment shaped by ancient geological activity.
