About this map

The Bruneau River carves through this high desert region of Owyhee County, defining a drainage system that includes Crowbar Gulch and Big Draw. This 2010 topographic record highlights a remote landscape where water access is the primary marker of human and natural activity, notably at Miller Water and the Miller Water Table. These features suggest the vital importance of subterranean resources in an area otherwise characterized by vast stretches of open terrain and intermittent watercourses like Browns Creek.

Transportation in the early 21st century relies on long-established desert routes such as Blackstone Grasmere Rd and Castleford Rd. These roads connect isolated landmarks like Twin Buttes to the wider region. The map also records locally significant thoroughfares like Broken Wagon Flat Rd and Clover Three Creek Rd, which provide access to the hinterlands between the river and the surrounding plateaus.
