2010 Map of Broken Wagon Flat

About this map

Broken Wagon Flat defines the open Owyhee County landscape, where early 21st-century surveys reveal a sparse network of roads crossing high desert terrain. The presence of Missile Base Rd hints at the cold-war era military infrastructure that once occupied these stretches of southwestern Idaho, intersecting with routes like Sheep Creek Rd and Broken Wagon Flat Rd. Water sources remain critical landmarks in this arid environment, with drainage provided by Hot Creek and Sugar Creek. Notable land features like Horse Hill and the uniquely named Horse Trap suggest the area's history with livestock and wild horses, providing specific points of interest for researchers tracing the historical use of public lands in the region.
