2020 Map of Buster Butte

About this map

Buster Butte stands as a prominent landmark within this high-elevation landscape of Owyhee County. The terrain is characterized by the expansive J-P Desert and a network of drainage systems including Marys Cr, Sheep Cr, and Rattlesnake Cr. These watercourses carve through the high plateau, indicating a region where water management and seasonal flow dictate the rhythm of the land. In the northwest corner, the Grasmere Airport serves as a vital transit point in this isolated portion of Idaho, connected to the wider region by the Rowland Rt Rd. This 2020 survey illustrates the modern configuration of range management and public land use, showing how established routes and natural features like James Lake continue to define the character of the high desert.
