2020 Map of Pot Hole Canyon

About this map

Bruneau Desert dominates this arid landscape, showing the complex drainage systems of the high desert along the border of Elmore and Owyhee counties. The map traces the winding descent of Pot Hole Canyon, where the seasonal waters of Pot Hole Cr have carved into the plateau. This 2020 survey captures the area's sparse infrastructure, defined largely by remote tracks like Pothole Rd and W Noble Rd that cross the townships. To the north and east, the land is dissected by Sailor Creek and its various branches, illustrating the rugged hydrologic patterns of Idaho's Snake River Plain region. The lack of permanent settlements emphasizes the region's character as a wide-open range for grazing and wildlife, where water sources like Sailor Cr are critical landmarks.
