2017 Map of Circular Butte NW

About this map

The Clark Co Jefferson Co and Clark Co Butte Co boundaries intersect in this arid stretch of eastern Idaho, where the landscape is defined by vast volcanic plains and sparse water resources. The ephemeral path of Birch Cr crosses the southwestern corner of the quadrangle, representing one of the few hydrological features in an otherwise dry volcanic terrain. Human activity is minimal, marked primarily by the passage of Wadsworth Rd and various section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The map documents the convergence of several townships, including t7n r31e and t7n r32e, illustrating the precise grid work imposed on this open country near the northern edge of the Snake River Plain.
