2013 Map of Kettle Butte NE

About this map

The border of Jefferson Co and Bonneville Co divides this expansive high-desert terrain, where a strictly ordered survey grid defines the landscape. The infrastructure here is primarily agricultural and logistical, anchored by the Kettle Butte Drain in the southeastern corner. This drainage feature and the network of section-line roads, including Cinder Rd and N 1800 E, suggest a region managed for large-scale ranching or irrigation-supported farming. The map depicts a snapshot of Idaho's Snake River Plain development in the early 21st century, illustrating how the Public Land Survey System continues to dictate the placement of local thoroughfares like E 400 N and E 100 N across the townships of t5n r35e and t4n r36e.
