2010 Map of Triplet Butte

About this map

The Bruneau River carves through this Owyhee County landscape, creating a network of drainages and named landmarks that reveal the history of livestock and settlement in Idaho. Named features such as Bernards Bedground and Squaw Camp suggest the area's use as grazing land and seasonal encampments. The presence of the Fred Hall Homestead near Cat Creek provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing early residents of this high desert region. Transport through this terrain is defined by the Rowland Route Rd, which connects the high flats of Rizzi Table to the river corridor. Geological markers like Triplet Butte and the deep incision of Triplet Canyon dominate the topography, while unusual place names like Hole in the Ground and Black Rock Pocket mark specific pockets of the landscape used by early inhabitants and travelers.
