2017 Map of Pine Butte

About this map

The volcanic landscape of the Idaho high desert is defined by a series of distinct elevations including Pine Butte and Crater Butte. This survey, crossing the border of Clark and Fremont Counties, reveals a terrain shaped by geology and livestock movement. The presence of the Stock Driveway in the southern portion of the map highlights the area's continued importance for local ranching and seasonal animal migrations. Roads such as Eighteen Mile Rd and Split Butte Rd navigate the low-lying areas between prominent landmarks like Threemile Knoll, Twitchells Knoll, and Blacks Knoll. This 2017 edition documents the persistent land-use patterns in a region where volcanic knolls serve as the primary navigational markers across the high plains.
