About this map

Owyhee Canyon and its namesake Owyhee River dominate this high-desert landscape in southwestern Idaho, cutting a deep path through the plateau. This 2013 survey reveals a territory defined by seasonal water and cattle-rearing history, with land improvements like Wilson Pasture and Cow Meadow clustered around critical water sources. Named landmarks like Bull Basin Camp and the settlement at Dukes reflect the human footprint in this remote rangeland.

The hydraulic geography of the area is mapped through a series of springs and reservoirs, including Sagehen Springs, Bald Mountain Reservoir, and Long Paul Res. These features, along with the convergence of the South Fork Owyhee River, illustrate the complex management of water in the arid Owyhee County terrain. High points such as Bald Mtn provide the backdrop for a network of drainages like Bull Basin Cr and Dukes Cr.
