2010 Map of Kettle Butte

About this map

Twentymile Rock and Kettle Butte dominate this high desert landscape in Bonneville County, providing critical landmarks in a vast expanse of lava fields and sagebrush. This 2010 survey illustrates the remote road network that services this corner of Idaho, including the intersection of Mud Lake Rd and 20 Mile Rock Rd. Grounded in the necessities of the arid West, Taylor Well stands as one of the few named utility features in the quadrangle. The map is a study of isolation and open-country navigation, where volcanic formations and singular water sources dictate the movement of travelers and ranchers across the high plateau north of the Snake River Plain.
