2010 Map of Pence Butte

About this map

Pence Butte dominates the central landscape of this Owyhee County quadrangle, situated in an area of high desert drainage. The 2010 survey delineates the intricate paths of Browns Creek as it winds through the western portion of the map, while Pot Hole Creek flows through the southeastern corner. This region is characterized by sparse transportation infrastructure, primarily defined by the winding route of Pothole Rd. The topographic contours illustrate the subtle but significant elevation changes across the volcanic terrain, capturing the essential geography of the Idaho high desert in the early 21st century. The map serves as a detailed record of water drainage and access routes in this specific corner of the Snake River Plain, providing a clear view of the natural landmarks that define the area's grazing and wilderness character.
