2017 Map of Butte City

About this map

Butte City serves as the primary settlement on this Idaho landscape, where the high desert meets a complex hydrological network. The Big Lost River meanders across the southern sections of the quadrangle, notably passing through Box Canyon and under the Arco-Service Berry Rd. This waterway is vital to the region's agricultural infrastructure, as evidenced by the Arco Canal running near the town site. The topography is defined by significant volcanic and geological landmarks including Sixmile Butte in the southwest and Teakettle Butte to the southeast, which rise above the level plains of Deadman Flat. The grid-like division of public lands is clearly marked through various townships, showing the intersection of local transportation routes like Cedar St and the broader reach of the regional water management systems in a characteristically arid environment.
