Vents-a-plenty

This unadorned image of the middle Owyhee provides a nice backdrop to recent discussions that illuminate just how many volcanic vents are within our collective field area. This rendition is the slopeshaded 10-m DEM with a stretched color ramp overlay. This one is worth a long look. Note the topographic evidence for lava dams where we know they are, and then ponder where they also may have been. I hope to field check these for pillow complexes early this summer.
