About this map

Big Grassy Ridge defines the volcanic and sagebrush-covered landscape of this Fremont County corner in the early 21st century. The map provides a detailed view of the complex topography within the Juniper Buttes, including the distinct elevations of North Junipers, South Junipers, and the prominent West Butte. This area, characterized by its high-desert relief and lava-influenced terrain, shows very little human footprint beyond essential infrastructure.

Jenkins Will appears as a rare named settlement or point of interest in this high-altitude basin, connected to the wider region by the winding path of Grassy Ridge Rd. This 2013 survey is particularly valuable for its precise contouring of the Hansen Basin and the surrounding volcanic mounds, offering a clear picture of the undisturbed landforms before any modern shifts in land use or environmental management. The presence of these specific topographic names reveals the localized vernacular used by those who navigate this Idaho landscape.
