2020 Map of Coonskin Butte

About this map

Coonskin Butte anchors this high-plateau landscape of Owyhee County, where the desert terrain is defined by deep incisions and isolated water sources. The East Fork Bruneau Canyon cuts through the southwestern corner, while drainage patterns like Buck Flat Draw and Aikers Draw organize the surrounding topography. Ranching and land management legacy is evident in the presence of Aikers Field and several vital water catchment points, including McGregor Reservoir, Aikers Reservoir, and the seasonal Big Lakes. Movement through this remote country is traced by historical routes such as the Scotch Trl and Malat Trl, which provide access across the township lines of t12s r10e and t13s r11e. The path of Clover Cr further highlights the critical relationship between topography and water in this arid Idaho environment.
