1965 Map of Berger Butte

About this map

Berger Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this Twin Falls County landscape, anchoring a region defined by agricultural water management and high desert terrain. The upper Northwest corner reveals the essential infrastructure of the High Line Canal and its associated Pumping Sta, which facilitated irrigation for the developing grid of section-line roads such as 3400 North Road and 1900 East Road. Evidence of the area's geological utility is seen at the Gravel Pit near the southern boundary, while the topography is further marked by two distinct Lookout Tower sites that provided a vantage over the shifting elevations between Deep Creek and the localized basin of Mud Lake. The map captures a mid-century period of land use where the rigid surveyor's grid meets the irregular drainage patterns of the Idaho high plains.
