1979 Map of Buckhorn

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Marys Creek and Bull Creek define this high-plateau landscape in Owyhee County, where cattle ranching and water management appear as the primary human signatures on the land. The presence of the Duck Valley Indian Reservation in the southwest corner and numerous reservoirs like Harris Lake and Bitterbrush Reservoir underscore the critical importance of water rights in this arid environment. For the historian or genealogist, the map preserves the specific locations of early habitations and working sites, including the Frost Place (Ruins) and the Dickens Place (Site). These labels, alongside Buckhorn Corrals and the Bull Creek Crossing, suggest a landscape defined by seasonal movement and the long-distance trails required to navigate the draws and basins of the Owyhee backcountry.
