2020 Map of Milner Butte

About this map

Milner Butte dominates the northeastern landscape of this high desert region along the border of Twin Falls and Cassia counties. The agricultural development of the Snake River Plain is clearly visible through the extensive engineering of the Twin Falls Main Canal and the Milner Main Canal, which divert water to sustain the surrounding farmlands. A precise grid of rural roads, including 5000 East Rd and 800 South Rd, defines the local geography, providing access to the sprawling range and cultivated fields. Natural drainage patterns are marked by the winding paths of Big Cottonwood Cr and Mountain Meadow Cr, illustrating the contrast between the native desert terrain and the heavily modified irrigation landscape typical of Southern Idaho in the early 21st century.
