2020 Map of Juniper Butte

About this map

Juniper Butte dominates the southern landscape of this high desert region in Owyhee County. The terrain is defined by deep incisions in the plateau, most notably the East Fork Bruneau Canyon which cuts through the northern sections. This topography dictates the movement of water and travel, with drainage features like Clover Cr and Juniper Lake providing rare water sources in an otherwise arid environment. Transportation through this remote section of Idaho relies on established routes such as Three Creek Rd and primitive paths like Scotch Trl and Malat Trl. The map also details several named topographic depressions including Buck Flat Draw and Aikers Draw, which illustrate the complex erosion patterns common to the volcanic soils of the Owyhee plateau.
