2023 Map of Clover Butte North

About this map

The East Fork Bruneau Canyon carves a deep path across the northern reaches of this landscape, defining the transition from the arid Bruneau Desert to the elevated terrain further south. This high-desert environment in Owyhee County is characterized by significant natural landmarks including Clover Butte in the southeast and the broad expanse of Clover Flat to the east. Water resources in this dry region are centered on the winding course of Clover Creek. Transportation across this remote area is facilitated by two primary routes, Clover Three Creek Rd and Three Creek Rd, which provide access to the disparate sections of the canyon and the plateau. The map illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by its dramatic geology and the essential role of limited water sources in an otherwise desert environment.
