2017 Map of Big Grassy Ridge

About this map

Big Grassy Ridge defines the volcanic landscape of this portion of Fremont County, where the high desert terrain of eastern Idaho rises into significant landforms. The area is dominated by the Juniper Buttes complex, which includes distinct elevations such as the North Junipers, South Junipers, and West Butte. This 2017 survey reveals a remote landscape primarily utilized for grazing and transit, as evidenced by the presence of Jenkins Will and the long arterial routes of Grassy Ridge Rd and 18 Days Lake Rd. The mapping of Hansen Basin further illustrates the complex depressions and rises typical of this basalt-strewn region, providing a clear record of the area's geography before shifting environmental or land-use patterns alter the character of these high-plateau features.
