1979 Map of Clover Butte South

About this map

Clover Butte and the high volcanic plateau of the Inside Desert dominate this 1970s landscape in Owyhee County. This area is defined by its reliance on dispersed water sources, where survival in the arid terrain is marked by named features such as Valley Waterhole, Leo Waterhole, and a lone Water Tank. A network of several Jeep Trails provides the only access through the sectioned backcountry, connecting remote sites like a designated Camp north of the desert expanse. The mapping reveals a sparse, functional geography where topographical relief and seasonal water access dictated movement and land use long before modern infrastructure reached this corner of Idaho.
