2010 Map of Pillar Butte SE

About this map

Pleasant Valley and the surrounding high plains of Bingham County define this landscape, characterized by a grid of rural roads and agricultural life in the early 21st century. The map reveals a highly structured network of thoroughfares, such as N Pleasant Valley Rd and S Pleasant Valley Rd, which divide the terrain into large parcels. One of the few non-agricultural sites noted is the Bredding Ranch Landing Area, indicating the importance of private aviation for transport and ranch management in this part of Idaho. This survey reflects the persistence of the homesteading layout, where family names like Schroeder, Brugemeister, and Schatz are preserved in the local geography. The western edge of the quadrangle is defined by Lava Beds Rd, marking the transition into the unique basalt-heavy geology of the Snake River Plain.
