2024 Map of Turner Table

About this map

Turner Table and Turner Butte rise above the high desert drainage systems of Owyhee County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent water and livestock ranching infrastructure. The hydrologic network is the primary focus of this map, featuring named water sources such as Angleworm Spring, Banks Spring, and the unique geological formation known as The Potholes. Human presence in this arid region is marked by a series of reservoirs including Whites Reservoir and the Monasterio-Jacks Cr Reservoir, which manage seasonal runoff from Big Jacks Creek and Blue Creek. The presence of the Battle Creek Rd provides the primary transit corridor through this section of the Owyhee Plateau, connecting remote grazing lands and Jacks Creek Meadows.
