2017 Map of Turner Table

About this map

Turner Table and the prominent Turner Butte command the high plateau of Owyhee County, defining a landscape shaped by seasonal water management and grazing. This 2017 survey shows a network of remote catchments and springs essential for livestock and wildlife in this arid environment, including Whites Reservoir, Jacks Cr Reservoir, and the Monasterio Jacks Cr Reservoir. Several named water sources like Angleworm Spring, Banks Spring, and Turner Spring are scattered across the terrain, indicating the critical nature of these points for local land use. The intermittent flows of Big Jacks Cr and Blue Cr carve through the tablelands, while Battle Creek Rd provides one of the few primary access routes into the Jacks Creek Meadows. This modern record of the Public Land Survey System reveals the enduring cadastral organization of the high desert south of the Snake River.
