About this map

Clover Mountain dominates this high-desert landscape in southwestern Idaho, serving as a focal point for a complex network of seasonal drainages and springs. The terrain is defined by broad plateaus like Summit Flat and Grassy Flat, which provide a stark contrast to the deep draws and creek beds that carve through the Owyhee County volcanic soils. Water is the primary driver of names here, from the perennial Clover Cr and Battle Cr to smaller sources such as Rat Spring and Clover Spring.

Transport through this isolated region relies on historical routes such as Mud Flat Rd and Antelope Ridge Rd, which connect the high flats. The presence of features like Sheep Cr Pond and Bill DeAlder Draw suggests a landscape shaped by both natural hydrology and long-standing ranching interests. This topographic survey captures the intricate drainage patterns of the S Fork Castle Cr and Juniper Cr systems, illustrating the essential relationship between water and navigation in the high desert.
