2023 Map of Four Corners

About this map

Whitehorse Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this high-desert region of Owyhee County, overlooking a landscape defined by seasonal basins and specialized water management. The namesake Four Corners and its adjacent Four Corners Reservoir mark a significant junction in the northwestern portion of the map, likely serving as a critical point for local land navigation and livestock management. This 2023 survey reveals a terrain shaped by various catchments, including Little Juniper Basin Reservoir and East Horse Basin Reservoir, which dot the arid expanses of the Y P Desert. The map details the intricate topography of Horse Basin and Little Horse Basin, illustrating how the natural drainage patterns of these basins have been utilized for water storage in this remote pocket of Idaho.
