2020 Map of Cliffs

About this map

South Mtn rises above the Owyhee high desert, anchoring a landscape where small-scale ranching and remote aviation define the modern era. The settlement of Cliffs is situated at a tactical junction where Deep Creek Rd meets the Juniper Mountain Loop Rd, serving as a vital waypoint in a region defined by scattered water sources and rugged drainages. Water management is critical in this environment, evidenced by Whitby Reservoir and numerous named springs like Corta Spring, Dave Shea Spring, and Dougherty Springs that sustain local livestock and wildlife.
