2020 Map of Sunset Lake

About this map

Sunset Lake and Rocky Lake anchor this high desert landscape within the Snake River Plain, where the borders of Butte, Bingham, and Blaine counties meet. The topography is defined by volcanic features, including the prominent Rock Corral Butte and Little Wildhorse Butte in the eastern and central reaches. This area is characterized by vast sections of public lands, as evidenced by the systematic grid of township and range lines such as t1s r29e. To the southwest, Antelope Butte rises above the surrounding terrain, providing a significant landmark for navigating this largely uninhabited portion of the Idaho interior. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by geological forces rather than dense human settlement, focusing on natural hydrology and distinctive topographical rises.
