2010 Map of Captain Butte

About this map

Succor Creek Reservoir sits as a central water feature in this arid landscape, held by the Texas Basin Dam at its southern end. The surrounding terrain is defined by high-desert formations and drainage basins, including the broad Texas Basin and prominent elevations like Captain Butte and Flattop Butte. Water management and natural drainage define the area's layout, with Succor Creek and its many tributaries, such as Little Succor Creek and Coal Mine Basin Creek, carving through the high plateau. The presence of Table Rock and Sage Hen Gulch underscores the geographic diversity of this corner of Owyhee County. Remote access is primarily limited to routes like Chipmunk Rd, reflecting the quiet, rural character of this ranching and watershed region in the early 21st century.
