2020 Map of Johnson Butte

About this map

Horse Heaven Hills rise above a landscape of deeply cut drainages in this Benton County survey. The prominence of Johnson Butte serves as a central landmark for the surrounding terrain, which is defined by a series of significant canyons including Amon Canyon, Zintel Canyon, and Bofer Canyon. This modern topographic study reveals a sparse, high-country road network typical of the Columbia Plateau's agricultural and grazing lands. A series of thoroughfares, such as Coffin Rd, Beck Rd, and Bofer Canyon Rd, connect the high ridges to the lowland passes. The presence of the named locality Jump Off Joe along Jump Off Joe Rd reflects the local vernacular and long-standing nomenclature of this upland region.
