2013 Map of Battle Creek Lakes

About this map

Battle Cr carves a deep canyon through this high desert plateau in Owyhee County, revealing the complex drainage patterns of a landscape shaped by seasonal water. The 2013 survey illustrates the rugged topography between Dickshooter Ridge and the broad expanses of Squaw Meadows, where elevation shifts dramatically from flat tablelands into steep draws. Named landmarks like Kelly Park and Freshwater Draw suggest historical focal points for movement or grazing in an otherwise sparse environment. The presence of Willow Spring at the head of Dickshooter Cr highlights the critical importance of isolated water sources in this arid stretch of southwestern Idaho. This map provides a clear record of the Public Land Survey System grid across T12S and T13S, useful for tracing property boundaries and land use history in a region defined by its watercourses and rimrock.
