2010 Map of Table Butte

About this map

Table Butte and Big Hill define the physical profile of this Owyhee County high-desert landscape in the early 21st century. The drainage network is characterized by intermittent watercourses like Sugar Creek, Hot Creek, and Miller Water, which cut through the open terrain. Human presence is light, primarily represented by the winding path of Sheep Creek Rd, reflecting the remote and arid nature of the Snake River Plain’s southern fringes. This 2010 survey provides a digital-era look at the land's hydrology and topography, capturing the seasonal nature of the western range where water features are named yet ephemeral. The map's layout emphasizes the isolation of these high-elevation landmarks, offering a precise record for those studying the environmental character of southwestern Idaho.
