1973 Map of Circular Butte 3 NW
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
The Idaho National Engineering Laboratory dominates this high-desert landscape in Butte County during the early 1970s. This specialized federal footprint is defined by industrial and military infrastructure, most notably the US Naval Reactors Facility. The map captures a high degree of technical detail, including the US Government Railroad and the primary transit artery of Lincoln Boulevard. While the eastern portion of the sheet shows the winding course of the Big Lost River, much of the interior is characterized by the utility of the site, marked by numerous Borrow Pits, Sewage Disposal Ponds, and an Industrial Waste Pond. This survey reflects the height of Cold War-era energy and naval research operations in the Idaho desert.
