1973 Map of Brace Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Owyhee River winds through the southern reaches of this high desert landscape, carving a path past Rickard Crossing and the distinctive geological formation known as The Dome. The terrain is defined by broad plateaus and basins, including the namesake Brace Flat and the elevated Lambert Table. Ranching life and water management are central to this 1970s survey, evidenced by the presence of Brace Ranch and a network of water catchments such as Bruce Reservoir, North Lambert Res, and Porcupine Reservoir. This high-altitude environment in Owyhee County transitions into the Y P Desert to the south, while several historic paths like the Kimball Trail and various unnamed jeep trails provide the primary means of navigating the expansive Sheep Hills and White Cow Basin.
