2011 Map of Scott Butte

About this map

Scott Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this eastern Idaho landscape, overlooking a series of dramatic drainages and early irrigation efforts. The map reveals the intricate network of canyons including Spring Canyon, Bloom Canyon, and Deadman Canyon that feed into the broader basin. In the south, the Birch Creek Valley is a focal point for water management, featuring both the natural course of Birch Creek and the man-made Reno Ditch. The presence of Reno Point and the alignment of Scott Butte Rd suggest the historical and continued importance of this corridor for access and ranching. The cartography traces the essential relationship between the high desert terrain and the vital water sources that have shaped land use in Clark County.
