Butte County

You’ll find Butte County, Idaho located in the midst of some of the West’s most stunning landscapes. This quiet and secluded area is named for the buttes that rise from the Snake River plain; their memorable flat-topped profiles serving as landmarks to the early pioneers and trappers who traveled through the area. Today, Butte County is known as the home of the Idaho National Laboratory just east of Arco, and the gateway to the Craters of the Moon National Park. Butte City and Moore are both communities that offer residents a peaceful, private place to live, with plenty of room to roam. Butte County boasts a low crime rate, a low cost of living, a majestic panorama of white-topped mountain peaks, wooded wildlife corridors, and clear high country streams. If you’re looking for less bustle and more quietude—Butte County is meant for you.
