1972 Map of Pillar Butte NE

About this map

Pleasant Valley and the surrounding high desert of southeastern Idaho characterize this 1970s topographic study. The landscape is defined by vast, open terrain marked by volcanic features such as Flat Top, providing a detailed look at the rural expanse along the Power and Bingham County line. The area is largely undeveloped, with a network of Jeep Trails providing the primary means of navigation through the sagebrush and basalt-strewn plains. Local industry and infrastructure are sparse, noted only by a handful of scattered wells and a single Borrow Pit. This map is particularly useful for those studying the physical geography of the Snake River Plain or tracing the historical boundaries of the surrounding counties before modern development altered these remote stretches of the Idaho interior.
