2020 Map of Big Foot Butte

About this map

Big Foot Butte rises above the high desert floor of southern Ada County, serving as a primary navigational landmark in this expanse of the Snake River Plain. This 2020 edition reveals a landscape defined by seasonal water and wide-ranging cattle grazing territory, where the intermittent Rabbit Cr winds through the southeastern sections of the township. Access to this open country is maintained by the corridor of S Range Rd, which cuts north-to-south through the center of the quadrangle. Small, scattered catchments like Tadpole Lake and the Wind Butte Lakes provide vital water points in an otherwise arid environment, illustrating the hydrological patterns essential for land use in this part of Idaho. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid, including the convergence of t2s r2e and t3s r3e, which remains the foundational framework for land management in the region.
