1970 Map of Granger Butte

About this map

Granger Butte dominates the central landscape of this Idaho interior, where the high basalt plateaus of Lava Flat and Bedrock Flat meet the drainage networks of the Little Weiser River. Photographed in 1969, the area reflects a remote ranching and grazing environment defined by isolated water sources like Bill George Spring and several unnamed Springs. The presence of a remote Landing Strip and multiple Corrals suggests the necessity of aerial and traditional livestock management across this expansive terrain. Waterways such as Hog Creek, Shirts Creek, and North Crane Creek carve through the plateaus, while the Boise Meridian serves as the primary longitudinal anchor for the township and range surveying system shown here.
