The Big Lost River winds through this arid expanse of Butte County, where a grid of unusually named thoroughfares intersects the desert landscape. Unlike the typical rural road names of the West, this area features a presidential and military naming convention including Van Buren Blvd, Jefferson Blvd, Farragut Blvd, and Monroe Blvd. These formal boulevards, often straight-line tracks across the sagebrush, speak to the planned infrastructure of the surrounding government laboratory lands.
