2023 Map of Clover Butte South

About this map

The high plateau of Owyhee County is defined by the prominent volcanic profile of Clover Butte in this contemporary study of the Idaho rangeland. The landscape is characterized by its isolation and the critical importance of water management in a high-desert environment, evidenced by livestock-sustaining features like Valley Waterhole and Leo Waterhole. These localized water sources are the primary landmarks in an area otherwise dominated by the vast township and range divisions of t12s r9e and t13s r9e. Three Creek Rd provides the only significant terrestrial artery through the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a lifeline for the remote ranching operations and public land management that dictate the region's modern geography.
