1964 Map of Sage Junction NE

About this map

Big Grassy Butte and its surrounding volcanic features dominate this mid-century topographic study of the high desert along the Fremont and Jefferson County line. The landscape is defined by distinct cinder cones and ridges, including Little Grassy Butte and the uniquely named Sheepherder Monument Butte. While the terrain appears sparsely populated, the presence of numerous wells across the plains suggests a reliance on groundwater for livestock in this arid environment. The map details a network of primitive transportation, primarily consisting of a Jeep Trail that winds through the volcanic elevations, providing a clear picture of the land's utility before more modern infrastructure arrived in this part of eastern Idaho.
