About this map

Amie No 1 and Amie No 2 mines stand as evidence of mineral exploration in this high-desert landscape of Owyhee County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Castle Creek, Buckaroo Creek, and Alder Creek, which supported a sparse collection of ranching outposts such as Spiry Place and Carothers Place. The presence of Rock Corral Spring and Antelope Spring highlights the critical importance of water sources in an area primarily accessible by a Jeep Trail or the steep Bachman Grade. This 1970s survey captures the region just as the Boise Meridian serves as the primary longitudinal reference, illustrating a remote ranching and prospecting economy where named landmarks like Hogpen Gulch provided essential orientation for local cattlemen and miners moving through the sagebrush hills.
