2023 Map of Middle Butte

About this map

Mid Butte and Twin Buttes dominate this volcanic landscape within the Snake River Plain, marking a terrain defined by prominent buttes and extensive lava flows. The topographic detail highlights the dramatic elevation changes of these isolated peaks rising from the high desert floor of Bingham County. The sparse network of modern infrastructure is anchored by 1900 West Rd, which cuts across the open expanse. Surveyed in the early twenty-first century, the map illustrates the enduring, stark character of this region, where geological formations are the primary landmarks. Researchers can trace the township and range lines across the lava fields, such as those within t2n r32e and t1n r32e, reflecting the structured grid of the Public Land Survey System in a largely uninhabited sector of Idaho.
