2023 Map of Sunset Lake

About this map

Antelope Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this high-elevation landscape where the boundaries of Butte, Blaine, and Bingham counties converge. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey depicts a largely undeveloped region characterized by interior drainage, where ephemeral water bodies like Sunset Lake and Rocky Lake are the primary named features. The map illustrates a strictly surveyed grid of the Public Land Survey System across the high desert terrain, providing a contemporary view of the region before any major modern shifts in land use or infrastructure. The convergence of three county lines—Butte, Blaine, and Bingham—makes this a unique reference for understanding modern administrative divisions in this part of Idaho.
