2020 Map of Broken Wagon Flat

About this map

Broken Wagon Flat serves as the focal point of this high-desert landscape in southwestern Idaho, where the topography is defined by significant elevations like Horse Hill and Big Hill. The name itself hints at the area's history of transit and cattle ranching, a legacy reinforced by the network of remote thoroughfares such as Broken Wagon Trail Rd and Broken Wagon Flat Rd. Water management is central to life in this arid region, evidenced by the Broken Wagon Flat Reservoir and intermittent drainages like Sugar Cr and Hot Cr. The presence of the CCC Rd suggests a landscape shaped by mid-20th-century conservation and infrastructure projects. This survey provides a clear view of the rangeland divisions between T8S and T9S, illustrating the enduring survey grid and road systems that continue to facilitate movement across this corner of Owyhee County.
