2020 Map of Crab Spring Butte

About this map

Crab Spring Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this high-desert landscape of Owyhee County, where a complex network of water management features reveals the region's ranching history. The terrain is defined by seasonal watercourses like Battle Creek and Little Jacks Creek, supplemented by numerous numbered catchments including Dry Creek Reservoir Number Two and Pole Creek Reservoir Number Five. These man-made features, alongside named sources such as Hutch Springs and Lahtinen Spring Reservoir, illustrate the critical importance of water rights and infrastructure in this arid section of Idaho.
