1980 Map of Crows Nest Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Crows Nest Butte dominates this high-desert landscape in Owyhee County, surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey and edited in 1980. The terrain is characterized by the expansive Bruneau Desert and Crows Nest Flat, where sparse water sources like Pot Hole Creek and Crows Nest Lake serve as critical landmarks for navigation. This region's isolation is underscored by the network of unimproved routes, including a primary Jeep Trail and the Clover Road, which provide the only access through the drainage of Crows Nest Draw. The map details a period when this part of southern Idaho remained largely undeveloped, focused on the natural topography and the primitive trails used by ranchers or early explorers traversing the high plains between mountain ranges.
