2010 Map of Split Top

About this map

Split Top and Packsaddle Butte dominate this section of the Idaho landscape, providing the primary topographic relief in a region defined by its scattered water resources. This 2010 survey illustrates a complex network of local roads and 4WD tracks that connect various isolated water bodies, suggesting a land used for seasonal grazing or remote recreation. Significant water management features include Houghland Reservoir Number 1 and Houghland Reservoir Number 2, along with Clear Lake Reservoir to the southeast. These man-made and natural catchments, such as Gentle Horse Lake and Packsaddle Lake, are critical markers for anyone navigating the high desert environment. The map provides a clear picture of the modern rural infrastructure, showing how water storage and transport routes are oriented around the significant peaks of the Split Top quadrangle.
