2017 Map of Kettle Butte

About this map

Kettle Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this southeastern Idaho landscape, situated within the lava-strewn plains of the Snake River Valley. This 2017 survey details a sparsely developed region of Bonneville County, where the volcanic geology is punctuated by features like Twentymile Rock. The map illustrates a strictly organized grid of townships and ranges, including t3n r34e and t3n r35e, reflecting the systematic land division of the West. Human presence is light, defined primarily by agricultural boundaries and the passage of Idaho State Highway 20, which cuts through the southern sections. For researchers, the document clarifies the relationship between the natural topographic rises of the buttes and the modern transportation corridors that navigate this arid environment.
