About this map

Jefferson and Bonneville Counties meet in this high-desert landscape of eastern Idaho, characterized by sparse infrastructure and significant elevation changes. The land is largely defined by its cadastral grid, falling within Township 5 North, Range 34 East and Township 4 North, Range 34 East, indicating a region dominated by large-scale agricultural or public land management. Human presence is marked primarily by a handful of established thoroughfares, such as Little Burn Rd and Sheep Rd, which navigate the undulating contours. These routes, along with Mud Lake Rd, likely served as vital connections for local ranching operations or seasonal access between the Snake River Plain and the surrounding highlands. The absence of dense settlement highlights the open, rural character of the region as it transitioned into the early 21st century.
