2024 Map of Rock Butte

About this map

Rock Butte serves as the central topographic focal point in this high desert landscape, which straddles the boundary between Butte County and Bingham County. This 2024 survey reveals a terrain defined by sparse water resources and cattle ranching infrastructure, characterized by several isolated reservoirs. The presence of Well Number 2 Reservoir, Cow Pasture Reservoir Number 1, and Cow Pasture Reservoir Number 2 highlights the essential role of managed water collection in this arid environment. Transportation through the area is limited to the winding Big Butte Springfield Rd, providing a look at the modern rural connectivity of this segment of the Snake River Plain. Further south, Moose Reservoir stands as another significant node in this network of vital water catchment points.
