2010 Map of Kettle Butte NW

About this map

The high desert landscape of Twin Butte Sage Junction Rd and the surrounding Idaho plains are captured in this 2010 topographic record. This area is defined by a sparse but essential network of rural roads that navigate the sagebrush-covered terrain. Little Burn Rd and Sheep Rd branch across the quadrangle, indicating the region's agricultural and grazing utility. Further south, the intersection of Mud Lake Rd and E 300 N provides a clear view of the rectilinear surveying and transportation patterns common to this part of the Snake River Plain. The map's contouring reveals the subtle volcanic geology of the region, where the vast, open expanses are punctuated by minimal human development and long-distance ranching routes.
