context_page_description: The Snake River Plain is a geologic feature located primarily within the U.S. state of Idaho. It stretches about 400 miles westward from northwest of the state of Wyoming to the Idaho-Oregon border. The plain is a wide, flat bow-shaped depression and covers about a quarter of Idaho. Three major volcanic buttes dot the plain east of Arco, the largest being Big Southern Butte.
  Most of Idaho's major cities are in the Snake River Plain, as is much of its agricultural land.
