1979 Map of Poison Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Inside Desert dominates this high plateau landscape in Owyhee County, where water management is the primary marker of human activity. The map reveals an intricate network of artificial catchments such as Post Office Reservoir, Poison Creek Reservoir, and Lake Pit Reservoir, reflecting the necessities of ranching in this arid environment. The most dramatic topographical shift occurs in the southwest, where the Jarbidge River cuts deeply through the terrain, flanked by the elevated flats of Diamond A Table and Dorsey Table.
