Map of Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve in Idaho. The map shows the path of the 1920 Limbert Trek, which cuts diagonally through the green-shaded park from the bottom right side toward the top right corner.

Extended Description

The park area is shaped like a square with several stacked rectangles extending from the bottom corners, and a round extension off the top left corner. A red line representing joint US Highways 93, 26, and 20 comes from the middle-left side of the map, running up and then cutting off the top left corner of the park, then heading off the top middle of the map. The Pioneer Mountains are noted in the top left corner of the image.

The Visitor Center is in the park’s northwest quadrant, just below the highway.

Limbert’s Route is shown as a series of blue arrows, stopping at various points through the park. An arrow emerges from the bottom left edge of the map, and text nearby reads “From Minidoka.” The arrow comes to a point in the park’s bottom right corner at Two Point Butte. Here starts a new arrow, which goes a short distance northeast to Vermillion Chasm, then another short distance northwest to Sheep Trail Butte, followed by a longer distance northwest to Echo Crater.

A longer arrow from here points slightly southeast to the Bridge of Tears, on the park’s southeastern edge. The arrow points back at Echo Crater, then continues its northwestern path up to Big Cinder Butte, around the middle of the park, then to Big Craters, a short distance below the Visitor Center. From here, a new arrow goes slightly northeast to North Crater Flow, then crosses the highway heading northwest to Old Arco-Carey Road, at the top left border of the map. The arrow continues northeast, parallel to the highway, and stops at Martin P.O. near the top middle of the map.

An almost square section of the park is boxed in, with Old Arco-Carey Road at the top and Big Cinder Butte at the bottom, with a note that reads “See detail map.”
