About this map

Big Grassy Ridge dominates this portion of Fremont County, where the high desert landscape of eastern Idaho is defined by volcanic features and sweeping rangeland. The map illustrates a transition from the relatively level ground near Jenkins Will in the north to the increasingly complex topography of the North Junipers and Juniper Buttes in the southeast. This area is characterized by its volcanic origins, with landmarks such as West Butte rising above the surrounding terrain.

Logistics in this arid region are guided by a few primary thoroughfares, including Grassy Ridge Rd and 18 Davis Lake Rd, which provide access through the sagebrush-covered hills. The map also delineates the Hansen Basin, a notable depression situated between the South Junipers and the rising buttes. This survey provides a precise look at the land's contours and the limited human infrastructure present in this corner of the state during the early twenty-first century.
