2020 Map of Little Butte SW

About this map

Twin Buttes and East Butte anchor the southern landscape of this high desert terrain at the convergence of Butte, Bingham, and Jefferson counties. The 2020 topography illustrates a sparsely settled but surveyed environment where the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System—notably t3n r32e and t4n r32e—meets the natural volcanic rises of the Snake River Plain. A network of utilitarian and historically named thoroughfares such as Stage Rd and Seven Mile Rd crisscross the region, tracing paths that historically served as critical connectors across the expansive Idaho interior. The presence of Taylor Blvd and Harrison Blvd within this open landscape suggests a transition between agricultural land use and the remote high-desert plains that characterize this part of Bingham County.
