About this map

Isolated volcanic and topographic formations dominate this high-desert region of Owyhee County. Central to the landscape is Mosquito Lake Butte, a prominent landmark that characterizes the arid terrain. The map records the primary transit artery of the area, Clover Three Creek Rd, which navigates between these geological rises and provides the only significant human-defined infrastructure across the expanse.

Hydrological features are sparse, represented most notably by the seasonal course of Poison Creek in the southwest. Other named summits including Middle Butte and Burnt Butte provide critical orientation points for land management and navigation. This survey illustrates the open, unimproved character of the Idaho high desert where water sources and high ground dictate the movement of both modern travelers and historic range users.
