1992 Map of Pence Butte

About this map

Saylor Creek Air Force Range occupies a significant portion of this high desert landscape in Owyhee County, illustrating the intersection of military training grounds and federal conservation efforts during the late twentieth century. To the north, the Snake River Birds of Prey Area highlights the region's importance as a protected habitat. The terrain is defined by volcanic features like Pence Butte and natural depressions such as the Pot Hole, providing a glimpse into the geological character of the Snake River Plain. Sparse water sources like Browns Creek and the presence of Pot Hole Road suggest a remote environment primarily utilized for defense and wildlife management rather than permanent settlement.
