About this map

The Emigrant Trail traverses the high desert plateau of Henderson Flats in this mid-century survey of Owyhee County. This arid landscape is defined by its water engineering, where a complex system of a Log Dam, a Flume, and a Ditch diverts water from Castle Creek to support isolated ranching outposts like Morgan Place and Foremans Res. The presence of the Castle Creek Sch near the creek's southern reach suggests a small but established rural community at the time of the survey.
