1964 Map of Market Lake NE

About this map

Big Grassy Butte and Little Grassy Butte rise prominently out of this high-desert landscape, defining a terrain shaped by volcanic activity and arid conditions. Mapped in the mid-1960s, the area straddles the boundary between Fremont County and Jefferson County, showing a sparsely developed region primarily accessible by a Jeep Trail. The placement of numerous wells suggests a critical reliance on groundwater for any agricultural or livestock activity in this eastern Idaho territory. Landmarks like Sheepherder Monument Butte and Gerber Butte serve as primary navigational points in a landscape characterized by isolation, while Little Grassy Ridge marks the southern extent of the survey area.
