2013 Map of Juniper Butte

About this map

Juniper Butte stands as a prominent elevation in this high desert region of Idaho, anchoring a landscape defined by deep drainages and volcanic terrain. This 2013 survey from the U.S. Geological Survey documents the intricate topography surrounding Clover Cr and the dramatic East Fork Bruneau Canyon. The area is marked by a network of seasonal watercourses and draws, such as Buck Flat Draw and Aikers Draw, which illustrate the complex drainage patterns feeding into the Bruneau River system. Human presence in this isolated territory is primarily defined by long-distance tracks like Three Creek Rd and utility or livestock paths such as Malat Trl and Scotch Trl. The inclusion of Juniper Lake provides a rare point of standing water in an otherwise arid expanse, highlighting the importance of localized water sources for both wildlife and regional land management.
