2020 Map of Kettle Butte NW

About this map

High desert plains and the stark boundaries of Jefferson Co and Bonneville Co define this portion of southeastern Idaho. The landscape is marked by a deliberate network of agricultural and access roads, including the diagonal path of Twin Butte Sage Junction Rd and the straight lines of E 300 N. This 2020 survey illustrates the modern configuration of the Snake River Plain, where the township and range system has dictated the layout of the land since early settlement. The geography here is dominated by subtle changes in elevation, with Sheep Rd and Little Burn Rd providing the primary transit routes through these expansive rangelands. This map is essential for researchers looking to pinpoint specific section corners and boundary lines in a region where few natural landmarks exist to orient the traveler.
