About this map

Howe Peak anchors this high-elevation landscape in Butte County, overlooking a network of deep drainage systems that define the local topography. The map illustrates a primarily undeveloped area characterized by prominent geological features such as Sixmile Canyon and the bifurcated Eightmile Canyon, which splits into the Right Fork Eightmile Canyon and Left Fork Eightmile Canyon.

Human activity is sparse and mostly limited to the lower elevations, where the historic Stage Rd traverses the terrain. The road network and canyon formations suggest a landscape primarily utilized for transit and ranching rather than dense settlement. This 2011 survey from the U.S. Geological Survey provides a detailed record of the physical relief and existing corridors through this part of Idaho, showing the relationship between steep mountain peaks and the desert-edge canyons below.
