2020 Map of Coyote Hole

About this map

The South Fork Owyhee River cuts a deep, winding channel through the high plateau of Owyhee County, defining the eastern character of this arid landscape. This 2020 survey illustrates a region where water management is critical for survival and land use, marked by a distributed network of catchments such as John G Reservoir, Stump Reservoir, and Bull Camp Reservoir. These features, along with names like Last Chance Reservoir, suggest the precarious nature of ranching or habitat management in the high desert environment.
