2010 Map of Split Butte

About this map

Split Butte rises above an open landscape in eastern Idaho, serving as the primary landmark for a region defined by a sparse network of unpaved access routes. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the high desert plateau where transportation is dictated by the environment. Long, winding tracks such as Sand Creek Rd and Crooked Rd navigate the contours of the terrain, while Red Sand Creek Bed Rd follows the natural path of a drainage channel. The area remains largely undeveloped, preserving a character that reflects the vastness of the Upper Snake River Plain. The arrangement of these roads suggests a landscape primarily used for seasonal grazing or resource management, providing a clear record of the infrastructure supporting this corner of Fremont County.
