About this map

Antelope Spring sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape in Owyhee County, where a complex network of seasonal drainages carves through the terrain. The map illustrates a remote ranching or backcountry environment defined by significant elevation changes, most notably seen at the Bachman Grade. This steep descent connects the higher plateaus to the drainage systems below, including Hart Creek and Browns Creek.

A network of unpaved corridors including Triangle Rd, Spivey Rd, and Alder Creek Rd provides the primary access across these public and private lands. The naming conventions of the watercourses, such as Buckaroo Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Horse Thief Creek, reflect the region's long history of livestock movement and early western transit. Topographic details reveal the steep-walled character of Hogpen Gulch and the winding path of Castle Creek, providing a contemporary view of this sparsely settled corner of Idaho.
