2017 Map of Serviceberry Butte

About this map

Serviceberry Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this high desert landscape along the border of Butte and Blaine counties. The map documents a critical network of water resources essential for life in this arid environment, featuring established points such as Coyote Water Hole, Rocky Point Water Hole, and the dual sites of Rattlesnake Water Hole Number One and Rattlesnake Water Hole Number Two. Human activity is centered around livestock management and transport, anchored by Smith Corrals and the catchment at Harold Reservoir. The area is bisected by historic regional thoroughfares, most notably the Minidoka to Arco Rd and the Big Butte Springfield Rd, reflecting the long-established transit corridors of the Snake River Plain hinterlands.
