2020 Map of Little Joe Butte

About this map

Little Joe Butte and Wind Butte define the high points of this arid plateau landscape in southern Ada County. The terrain is characterized by broad drainage patterns formed by Corder Cr, which winds across the township lines of t3s r3e and t2s r4e. This 2020 survey illustrates a sparsely developed region where land management is delineated by the Public Land Survey System and a limited network of transit corridors, such as S Range Rd and E Cinder Butte Rd. The map reveals a high desert environment where water and elevation are the primary landmarks, offering a clear view of the geographic isolation and natural topography of the Snake River Plain periphery before further modern encroachment.
