About this map

Johnson Butte stands as the central landmark in this portion of Benton County, overlooking a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and early 21st-century water management infrastructure. The map documents several small-scale agricultural barriers, including Pat Owens Dam, Burlingame Dam, and the curiously named Coffin Sheep Dam, which indicate the importance of water storage in this arid region.

Transportation routes are sparse but functional, with Bofer Canyon Rd following the natural contours of Bofer Canyon in the southwest. To the north, the terrain rises toward Jump Off Joe, accessed by Jump Off Joe Rd. The naming conventions found here, such as S Owens Rd and Beck Rd, often reflect local land-owning families, providing valuable data points for those researching regional genealogy or land use patterns during this era.
