2023 Map of McKinney Butte

About this map

The Mount Bennett Hills and McKinney Butte define the topography of this Gooding County landscape, where the high desert terrain meets a network of vital water management systems. The map illustrates a complex drainage pattern where seasonal flows like Cottonwood Creek, Clover Creek, and Dry Creek descend from the hills toward the southern plains. These natural waterways are augmented by human-made irrigation infrastructure, including the Bostrom Canal, Robertson Ditch, and Dog Creek Drain, which reflect the region's agricultural reliance on diverted water.
