1980 Map of Black Butte West

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Bruneau Desert terrain defines this arid landscape in Owyhee County, where the extensive Saylor Creek Air Force Range occupies the western portion of the quadrangle. The map documents a sparsely settled region shaped by volcanic features and essential water management for livestock, evidenced by the presence of a Corral and Pot Hole Reservoir. Drainage is primarily defined by the winding course of Pot Hole Creek and the steep walls of Pot Hole Canyon. Distinctive landforms such as Black Butte and Sailor Cap Butte serve as prominent landmarks across the high desert floor. Transportation through this remote stretch is minimal, anchored by the Lower Black Butte Crossing, reflecting the area's ongoing use for military training and rangeland at the time of the 1980 survey.
