1980 Map of Horse Butte

About this map

Sailor Creek flows through this high desert terrain in Owyhee County, defining a landscape marked by essential water management for ranching and transit. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the map reveals a network of isolated infrastructure such as the Crossroads Well and several Water Tanks scattered across the sagebrush. The presence of a Corral and various Jeep Trails suggest the active use of these public lands for livestock and remote exploration. Significant landmarks like Horse Butte Long Ridge and the Horse Butte Storage Tank provide topographic orientation, while the Feliz Reservoir and Sailor Creek Lake serve as critical water sources in a region characterized by ephemeral drainages like Juniper Draw. This map documents a functional, working landscape where survival and industry are tied directly to these few named points of water and high ground.
