About this map

Bruneau Desert dominates this high-desert landscape on the border of Owyhee and Twin Falls counties as recorded in the mid-1970s. The topography is defined by significant drainages including Rosevear Gulch, Tuana Gulch, and Deadman Creek, which cut through the arid terrain. Human activity in this portion of the Idaho rangelands is primarily indicated by a network of unimproved roads and utility infrastructure, notably Crows Nest Road and the Blue Ridge Trail.

Surface water is sparse, with several Well sites and livestock-related features like fence lines noted across the Indian Ridge area. Industrial markers such as Borrow Pits and a Borrow Pit appear near the northern edge of the sheet, suggesting localized material extraction. This survey provides a clear look at the division of the open range and the persistent water-management strategies required for life and industry in this remote corner of Idaho.
