About this map

The Bingham Co and Bonneville Co border runs through this high-desert landscape in the early 1970s, marking a transition between volcanic fields and upland grazing territory. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is defined by a notable expanse of Lava, a stark geological feature that dominates the local topography. This area is characterized by its sparse infrastructure, primarily consisting of remote resources for ranching and transport.

Water management in this arid environment is evident through a mapped Well and a Water Tank, critical infrastructure for those navigating or grazing livestock in the backcountry. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of access across the undulating terrain, indicating the isolated nature of the region before more modern road developments arrived. These trails follow the contours of the land, connecting scattered points of interest in a part of Idaho where the natural geology largely dictates the patterns of human movement.
