1949 Map of Little Joe Butte

About this map

Little Joe Butte and Wind Butte anchor this high desert landscape along the border of Ada County in the late 1940s. The terrain is defined by its intermittent drainage systems, notably Corder Creek and Rabbit Cr, which suggest a seasonally arid environment where water management and natural springs would have been vital to early ranching or transit. The map reflects a period when the area remained largely undeveloped, dominated by the natural topography of the Snake River Plain hinterlands. The section lines and established benchmarks, such as those near the creek beds, provide critical spatial data for researchers tracing historical land boundaries or grazing patterns in this portion of Idaho. This sheet captures a sparsely populated but geographically distinct region before the expansion of modern infrastructure altered the primitive road network shown here.
