2024 Map of Notch Butte

About this map

The Bruneau Desert landscape dominates this high-altitude section of Owyhee County, characterized by a complex network of drainage systems and volcanic landforms. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Notch Butte and Twin Buttes, which serve as significant landmarks in this arid environment. Hydrological features like Sailor Creek and Deadman Creek carve through the plateau, indicating the natural flow of water toward the Snake River plain. A single primary road, Crows Nest Rd, traverses the eastern and central portions of the map, providing the only major terrestrial link across the ridge. Notable topographic features like The Big Hill and the southeastern Blue Ridge underscore the elevation changes inherent in this desert plateau, reflecting the geomorphology of southwestern Idaho's interior.
