2020 Map of Black Leg Creek

About this map

J-P Desert and the surrounding high plateau of Owyhee County define this arid landscape, where water management is central to the local geography. The map documents significant man-made water features including Black Leg Reservoir and Billings Reservoir, which serve as vital collection points in an environment marked by seasonal drainages like Black Leg Cr and Cottonwood Cr. The terrain is deeply etched by erosional features such as Black Leg Box Canyon, Sheep Trail Canyon, and Rattlesnake Draw, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that feed into the desert basins.
