2023 Map of Captain Butte

About this map

Captain Butte and the surrounding high desert of Owyhee County are meticulously documented in this contemporary survey, illustrating a landscape where water is the primary architect of both the terrain and its history. The drainage networks of Succor Creek and Jackson Creek define the movements across this arid region, linking several vital water sources such as Texas Basin Spring, Rim Spring, and Arrow Spring. The topographic prominence of Table Rock and Flattop Butte serves as a reminder of the geologic forces that shaped the Coal Mine Basin. While largely open range, the presence of the SW Gate Gulch Reservoir and named routes like Westgate Gulch suggest a history of livestock management and resource utilization in a demanding environment. This map provides a precise account of a landscape where every named spring and drainage represents a crucial survival point for those who have traversed these Owyhee highlands.
