2013 Map of Burley Butte

About this map

Burley Butte rises as the central landmark in this high desert landscape south of the Snake River. The terrain is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and irrigation roads, reflecting the agricultural development of southern Idaho's Snake River Plain. Water management is evident through the courses of Goose Cr and Big Cottonwood Cr in the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Transport through the northern section is anchored by Us-30 E, following a historic corridor that has long connected the regional agricultural hubs. The map captures the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System, showing the township boundaries of t11s r21e, t11s r22e, t12s r21e, and t12s r22e as they partition the Cassia County countryside.
