2020 Map of Clover Butte North

About this map

Bruneau Desert dominates the northern reaches of this Owyhee County terrain, where the arid landscape is bisected by the dramatic incision of the East Fork Bruneau Canyon. This high desert environment is defined by its drainage patterns, most notably Clover Creek and the low-lying Clover Flat, which provide the primary topographic relief against the surrounding plateaus. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Clover Butte stands as a prominent landmark, rising above the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The infrastructure of this remote area is limited to a few arterial tracks, including Clover Three Creek Rd and Three Creek Rd, which trace the historic routes through this portion of southern Idaho. The map reveals a landscape largely shaped by geological forces and sparse rangeland management, typical of the high-elevation basins of the region.
