2013 Map of Coonskin Butte

About this map

Coonskin Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this high-desert landscape of Owyhee County, surveyed in 2013. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems and high-plateau features, most notably the deep incision of the East Fork Bruneau Canyon in the southwestern corner. These canyons and draws, such as Buck Flat Draw and Aikers Draw, dictate the movement across the land, as seen by the positioning of the Scotch Trl and Malat Trl. This area reflects the remote grazing and ranching heritage of southern Idaho, evidenced by named locations like Aikers Field and the seasonal water at Big Lakes. The Public Land Survey System grid provides the primary structure for navigation in this territory, where Clover Cr and other ephemeral water sources are critical to the local geography.
