About this map

Burton Bench dominates the landscape in this section of Teton County, where the topography transitions between broad elevated plains and the intricate drainage networks of Muddy Creek. The area is defined by its water management and natural catchments, featuring the Eyraud Lakes group, including Middle Lake and Round Lake. The presence of the Brady Canal, Teton Ditch, and several other unnamed irrigation ditches underscores the agricultural importance of this region in the late 1980s.

Localized landmarks such as the small settlement at Farmers and a lonely Cem reflect the sparse, rural character of the high plains. The terrain is further marked by Farmers Coulee and Burton Spring Coulee, which cut through the landscape toward the Alkali Flat. These features, combined with a local Substation, provide a clear picture of a working landscape shaped by both geological formations and human engineering for water distribution.
