2017 Map of Owinza Butte

About this map

Owinza Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this high desert landscape along the border of Lincoln and Jerome Counties. The terrain is defined by a complex network of ephemeral water bodies and managed reservoirs designed to capture seasonal runoff. Small, often seasonal lakes such as Duck Lake, Sand Lake, and Mule Shoe Lake are scattered across the northern sections, while the southern reaches are dominated by man-made catchments like Meadowlark Reservoir and Tumbleweed Reservoir. A grid of local access roads, including Stoker Rd and Owinza Rd, provides the primary infrastructure through the townships. The naming conventions of the water features, such as One Shot Lake and One Shot Lake or Cheatgrass Reservoir, reflect the local ecology and the practical concerns of land use in this arid Idaho region during the early 21st century.
