2020 Map of Split Butte

About this map

Split Butte serves as the defining topographic landmark of this landscape in the eastern Snake River Plain. This 2020 survey documents the vast, open character of the high desert terrain, dominated by complex contour patterns that reveal the volcanic and geological history of Fremont County. Modern land management is evidenced by the established transit routes through the sagebrush and lava fields, specifically Snowshoe Beetle Rd and Red Sand Creek Bed Rd. The map is structured around the Public Land Survey System grid, clearly demarcating the boundaries of several townships including t11n r40e and t10n r41e. This documentation of the area provides a detailed look at the drainage and terrain features of this sparsely settled portion of Idaho.
