2017 Map of Kettle Butte NE

About this map

The county boundary between Jefferson Co and Bonneville Co cuts across this high desert landscape, characterized by its geometric grid of section lines and gravel access ways. Central to the area is the presence of Kettle Butte Drain, a significant water management feature in an otherwise arid expanse. The map illustrates a transitional rural space where the vast public land survey sections are connected by long-stretching thoroughfares like Twin Butte Sage Junction Rd and Cinder Rd. This network of roads, including the precisely oriented E 400 N and E 300 N, reflects the organized agricultural and ranching development of eastern Idaho. The layout of these township and range divisions provides a clear framework for understanding land use and movement through this part of the Snake River Plain.
