About this map

Scoville and Cerro Grande anchor this high-desert landscape in southeastern Idaho, where the high plains meet the base of volcanic terrain. The map captures a transition from the level expanse of Ryegrass Flat to the prominent relief of Cedar Butte in the southeastern quadrant. This area is defined by its sparse settlement and an extensive grid of service and access roads, including Number 8 Rd and T-16 Rd.

Transport through this part of Bingham County relies on long-distance routes such as Big Butte Rd and the Big Butte Springfield Rd, which cut across the lava-influenced landscape. The boundary between Butte County and Bingham County runs through the center of the sheet, illustrating how political lines were drawn across this open terrain. For researchers, the map provides a clear record of land use and road development near the Snake River Plain at the start of the 2010s.
