2010 Map of Owinza Butte

About this map

Owinza Butte rises as a primary landmark in this section of Idaho, overlooking a high-desert landscape defined by a complex network of small lakes and man-made reservoirs. The terrain is crisscrossed by a rigid grid of local roads, such as Stoker Rd and Owinza Rd, reflecting the systematic agricultural and grazing development of the region. This 2010 survey highlights a water-management strategy essential to the area, featuring numerous catchment points like Elden Reservoir, Jack Reservoir, and Tumbleweed Reservoir. Scattered among these are naturally occurring basins including Russian Lake, Mule-Shoe Lake, and Mallard Lake. The absence of large town centers suggests a sparsely populated rural district where geography is shaped by the search for water and the management of land for livestock or drought-resistant agriculture.
