2020 Map of Pence Butte

About this map

Bruneau Desert dominates this section of Owyhee County, characterized by a vast arid expanse where watercourses like Browns Cr and Pot Hole Cr cut through the terrain. The namesake Pence Butte rises as a significant landmark in the southern reaches, providing a high point above the surrounding plateau. The map details a landscape managed by the Bureau of Land Management, showing the intricate grid of Township and Range lines such as t7s r8e that define land division in this part of Idaho. Transportation is limited to a few arterial routes including Browns Creek Rd and Pothole Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land toward Pot Hole Canyon. This survey captures the remote character of the desert environment in the early 21st century, mapping the critical drainage patterns and topographical features essential for navigating this high-desert region.
