2013 Map of Bull Camp Butte

About this map

Bull Camp Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this high-desert landscape within Owyhee County, surveyed during the early 21st century. The map reveals an arid environment defined by large-scale topographic basins and specialized ranching infrastructure, including 45 Windmill and Middle Windmill. To the west, the South Fork Owyhee River cuts through the terrain, providing a critical water source for an area dominated by the expansive Y P Desert. Human activity in the region is closely tied to water management, as evidenced by the distribution of catchment systems like Little Horse Basin Reservoir, W Horse Basin Reservoir, and Homer Wells Reservoir. These features, along with named depressions like Horse Basin and Little Horse Basin, suggest a landscape utilized for livestock grazing and rangeland management where seasonal water and wind-powered wells are essential for survival.
