2020 Map of Coonskin Butte NE

About this map

Bruneau Desert dominates this high plateau landscape along the boundary of Owyhee and Twin Falls Counties. The area is defined by the stark topography of the high desert, where subtle drainage patterns like Blue Gulch in the southeastern corner provide the primary relief in an otherwise expansive terrain. This 2020 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the remote character of this region, emphasizing the Public Land Survey System divisions such as t11s r12e and t12s r12e which organize the desert floor. The scarcity of named landmarks underscores the isolation of this corner of Idaho, where the landscape is primarily managed by the Bureau of Land Management and remains largely undeveloped, preserving a wilderness character into the twenty-first century.
