2017 Map of Coonskin Butte NE

About this map

The Bruneau Desert dominates this arid landscape at the southwestern corner of Idaho, where the high desert plateau stretches across the transition between Owyhee and Twin Falls counties. The terrain is defined by a series of subtle drainages and elevation shifts, ranging from approximately 4,200 to 4,800 feet. This 2017 survey reflects the stark, open character of the region, emphasizing the vast Public Land Survey System grid that organizes this portion of the Idaho interior. The boundary between the two counties is a primary landmark here, cutting vertically through the desert floor. This map is particularly useful for understanding modern land management and boundary alignments in a section of the state where few man-made structures exist, providing a precise record of the natural topography and political divisions that govern this remote expanse.
