2023 Map of Milner Butte

About this map

Milner Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Southern Idaho, where the desert landscape meets an engineered network of agricultural waterways. The geography is defined by the vital irrigation infrastructure of the Twin Falls Main Canal and the Milner Main Canal, which divert water to support the region's productivity. These canals cut across the high plains, intersecting a rigid grid of rural roads like 600 South Rd and 1200 West Rd. Natural drainage persists through the winding paths of Big Cottonwood Creek and Mountain Meadow Creek, which contrast with the straight lines of the man-made channels. This survey captures the boundary between Twin Falls Co and Cassia Co, illustrating how modern land use and historical water management have reshaped the Snake River Plain.
