2017 Map of Ryegrass Flat

About this map

Ryegrass Flat characterizes this high-altitude landscape along the border of Butte and Bingham counties in the 21st century. The map reveals a structured grid of rural infrastructure, where long-distance thoroughfares like Stage Rd and Seven Mile Rd traverse the undulating terrain. This area is defined by its massive scale and systematic land division, indicated by various township and range markers such as t3n r30e and t2n r31e. The placement of Wilson Blvd and Jefferson Blvd suggests a planned approach to land access in a region otherwise dominated by open flats and natural relief. Researchers can observe how modern county boundaries and survey lines interact with the physical geography of the Snake River Plain hinterlands.
