I see this is your first posting on Rootsweb, at least under this user name. When you post, sometimes it helps to give the whole story. I'm "assuming" you are looking to find where a relative had lived, was born, died. It might help in this search for Bybee to know just who you seek. The name of Bybee might have been an area named for the resident family. It does not appear to have been incorporated.
The Jefferson Hills Golf Course is at 4074 E 500 N, Rigby
This aerial photo of that area (if the link maintains) shows the golf course and vicinity. If not use Mapquest.com and switch to Aerial map. But, since you've already visited the area, you know what it looks like.
http://classic.mapquest.com/maps?city=Annis&state=ID&...I found the same area on a topo map, but it doesn't show Bybee, which is somewhat unusual to me to not have something like that appear.

--The BLM Database shows S. Dennis Farnsworth obtaining 160 acres of land in Jefferson County on 6/13/1919. It was located in Township 8-North, Range 36-East, Section 4. I did locate this land but it was quite removed from Rigby, and no Bybee was seen on the topo map.
For this information it appears you need someone more of a historian/genealogist. The Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness has a volunteer in Jefferson Co:
http://www.raogk.org/idaho2.htm Larua does Public Records (library). The library would have local history information about locations.
This book on early settlers might also have what you seek:
