About this map

The settlement of Buist sits at a crossroads in the high basins of southern Idaho, marking a transition between managed rangeland and the complex drainages of Oneida County. This landscape is defined by its seasonal water sources, such as Pettit Spring and Taylor Spring, which sustain the area's agricultural and grazing activities. The western portion of the map includes sections of the Curlew National Grassland, highlighting the regional commitment to land conservation and public range use.

To the east, the topography shifts into the prominent Pleasantview Hills and the deep incisions of Sublette Canyon. The network of local roads, including N Arbon Valley Rd and Old Sublette Rd, follows the natural contours of the land, connecting scattered homesteads and ranches through passages like Jensen Pass. This area, drained by Bannock Cr and Deep Cr, preserves a rural character focused on the intersection of watershed management and open-country navigation.
