2013 Map of Richard Butte

About this map

Goddard Cem rests near Tyler Canyon in this corner of Idaho, where the high desert terrain meets the southern extent of the Lemhi Range. The landscape is defined by its volcanic geology and drainage patterns, specifically the presence of Lava Ridge and the prominent Richard Butte rising above the surrounding flats. The seasonal flow of Birch Cr cuts through the northeast, crossing the boundary between Butte County and Clark County. This 2013 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region primarily utilized for cattle ranging and transit, with long-established routes like W Foothill Rd and Mahogany Butte Rd skirting the foothills. Geologic and geographic features dominate the map, from the deep incisions of Kyle Canyon to the wide alluvial plains that characterize the area's transition into the desert basin.
