2013 Map of McKinney Butte

About this map

McKinney Butte rises above the high-desert landscape of Gooding County in this 2013 survey, which reveals the intricate drainage patterns and irrigation systems of the Magic Valley region. The map details a network of ephemeral watercourses including Coyote Cr, Fourmile Cr, and Black Canyon Cr that carve into the terrain. Human presence is marked by isolated landmarks such as Hole-In-The-Wall Cabin and Crist Cabin, which provide specific points of interest for local historians and researchers. Toward the southern end of the quadrangle, the transition from open range to managed water becomes evident with the appearance of the Bostrum Canal, Robertson Ditch, and Dog Cr Drain. These features, along with Bray Lake, illustrate the complex management of water resources in this part of Idaho.
