2017 Map of Kettle Butte NW

About this map

Jefferson and Bonneville counties intersect in this volcanic and sagebrush-covered landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by undulating contours and primitive transit corridors. The remote character of the region is evident in the sparse infrastructure, dominated by long-distance tracks such as Twin Butte Sage Junction Rd and Sheep Rd. These routes trace the natural topography, likely serving as essential conduits for regional livestock movement or access to the high-elevation flats. The northern portion of the map is traversed by Little Burn Rd, while the southern reaches briefly touch the rural grid at E 300 N. The absence of dense settlement and the prominence of the Jefferson Co Bonneville Co boundary reflect a transition zone between managed agricultural lands and the open, high-elevation scrubland of eastern Idaho.
