2017 Map of Crowbar Gulch

About this map

The Bruneau River carves a deep, winding path through Owyhee County, defining the dramatic topography of Bruneau Canyon. This high desert landscape is characterized by expansive plateaus like the Bruneau Desert and distinctive volcanic landmarks such as Twin Buttes in the northwest. Local ranching and travel history are reflected in the network of remote tracks, including Broken Wagon Flat Rd and Blackstone Grasmere Rd, which navigate the arid terrain. The presence of named water sources like Miller Water and Miller Water-Table in an otherwise dry environment highlights the critical importance of reliable springs and subsurface flow for survival and livestock in this portion of the Idaho backcountry. Watercourses such as Browns Cr and the namesake Crowbar Gulch further illustrate the drainage patterns feeding into the central river system.
