2011 Map of Pot Hole Butte

About this map

Pot Hole Butte and Winter Camp Butte stand as the primary topographical landmarks in this high-desert region of Owyhee County. The landscape is defined by its wide, open spaces and a network of essential roads that connect these distinct volcanic features. Drainage for the area is provided by Pot Hole Creek in the northeast and Browns Creek to the west. The primary transportation corridors include Castleford Rd, which cuts across the central portion of the map, and Clover Three Creek Rd, indicating the area's role as a transit zone between regional ranching outposts. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the sparse but vital infrastructure of the Idaho desert, from the winding Pothole Rd to the quiet seasonal waterways that shape the local geography.
