2013 Map of Kettle Butte

About this map

Kettle Butte and the volcanic outcrop of Twentymile Rock dominate this arid stretch of the Eastern Snake River Plain. This 2013 survey of Bonneville County captures a landscape defined by its distinctive geological formations and the sparse infrastructure of the high desert. Modern transportation corridors, specifically the W Arco Hwy and Mud Lake Rd, traverse the region, following the natural contours of the terrain. The presence of Taylor Well in the northern portion of the quadrangle highlights the critical importance of water access in this semi-arid environment, serving as a vital point for land management and local navigation. The map's detailed topography reveals the subtle volcanic rises and depressions characteristic of the region's ancient lava fields.
