2017 Map of Little Butte NW

About this map

Arid basin terrain defines this 2017 survey at the intersection of Butte, Jefferson, and Bingham counties. The landscape is marked by the distinct absence of permanent water bodies, instead showing a network of utilitarian transit routes such as E Monument Line Rd and Shell Rd that cut across the section lines. The map illustrates the rigid organization of the Public Land Survey System, with the boundaries between Butte and Jefferson and Jefferson and Bingham counties established along these surveyed township and range lines. The sparse road network, including Birch Creek Rd, suggests a remote area primarily utilized for large-scale land management or grazing rather than dense residential settlement.
