2017 Map of Castro Table

About this map

Castro Table and a series of high plateaus dominate this Owyhee County landscape, where the drainage patterns of Deep Creek and Nickel Creek have carved out distinct geographic features like Nickel Creek Pocket. The high desert terrain is punctuated by family and descriptive landmarks, such as Boni Table, June Grass Table, and Ben Mills Flat, reflecting the ranching heritage of the region. A sparse network of water sources including Swisher Spring and Bower Reservoir provide essential hydration in this arid environment. The presence of Grasshopper Rd and labels like Star Ranch Table suggest the long-standing agricultural and grazing use of the land. These landforms, including Bull Gulch and Big Point, illustrate the complex topography that historically challenged and guided movement through the Idaho backcountry.
