1955 Map of Coyote Butte

About this map

Coyote Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this high-desert landscape south of the Idaho state capital, surveyed just after the mid-century. This region of Ada County is defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, specifically where the Boise Base Line separates Township 1 North from Township 1 South. The terrain consists of open rangeland with subtle elevation changes indicated by detailed 20-foot contours, leading toward the neighboring elevations of Christmas Mountain to the east. This 1955 field check by the Geological Survey documents the area during a period of minimal development, preserving the original desert topography and the early transit routes that follow the township and range lines.
