2010 Map of Rattlesnake Butte

About this map

Rattlesnake Butte anchors the southeastern corner of this high-desert landscape in Blaine County, Idaho. The 2010 survey highlights a largely undeveloped volcanic or basaltic terrain characterized by its distinct lack of dense settlement or surface water, emphasizing the isolated nature of the Snake River Plain. Human activity is represented primarily by a sparse network of unpaved access routes including Wapi Rd, Gehring Rd, and Rast Rd which skirt the edges of the volcanic fields. This edition serves as a clear record of the area's topography and road access at the start of the decade, showing the minimal impact of modern infrastructure on this specific portion of the Idaho interior.
