2017 Map of Coyote Butte

About this map

Cow Creek carves a distinct path through the scablands of Adams County, anchoring the landscape of this 2017 survey. The small settlements of Mack and Thavis appear as quiet rural hubs connected by a network of gravel and paved routes, including the E Ralston-Benge Rd and Mack Rd. The terrain is defined by its basaltic geology, featuring prominent landmarks like Terksaleeze Butte in the north and the namesake Coyote Butte in the southeast. This modern topographical study by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the specialized land use patterns of the Inland Empire, where the winding waterway of Cow Creek contrasts with the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, marked by township lines like t17n r37e and t16n r36e.
