2020 Map of Dietrich Butte

About this map

Dietrich Butte and Brown Butte rise above the high desert floor in this Lincoln County landscape, highlighting a terrain shaped by volcanic history and modern irrigation. The small settlement of Besslen serves as a focal point along Besslen Rd, situated within a network of managed water systems essential for regional agriculture. This infrastructure is clearly visible through the Dietrich Main Canal and various laterals, including Lateral 702 and Lateral 614, which distribute water from sources like Crater Reservoir and West Monument Reservoir. Local landmarks such as Lone Rock Bridge and Hunt Waterhole provide specific reference points for those studying the area's geography and development. The transport network is anchored by the Kimama Hwy and a grid of rural routes like Star Lake Rd, reflecting the intersection of natural landmarks and human-engineered water management in this part of Idaho.
