1973 Map of Rock Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Lava flows dominate this high-desert landscape along the Butte Co Bingham Co line, where the terrain is defined by volcanic features and an arid expanse. The isolation of the area in the early 1970s is underscored by the presence of a primitive Jeep Trail and a series of vital water collection points, such as Moose Res and Cistern. Rising from the plains are distinct topographical markers like Rock Butte and Rock Corral Butte, which likely served as navigational waypoints in a region otherwise sparse of permanent structures. The infrastructure shown, including Cow Pasture Reservoir No 1 and Cow Pasture Reservoir No 2, reflects a land-use pattern centered on seasonal livestock grazing, where every Well No 2 Res and tank was a critical asset for survival.
