About this map

De Lamar sits deep in the Owyhee Mountains, a landscape defined by the legacies of Idaho's mining history. The terrain is marked by numerous named gulches and peaks that reflect the area's intensive nineteenth-century mineral exploration, including Booneville Gulch, Rich Gulch, and Silver City Range. To the south, DeLamar Mtn and Florida Mtn rise above the drainage of Jordan Creek, where the old Wagon Road traces the canyon floor towards Dewey.

The hydrography of the region is centered on several major creek systems, such as Succor Creek and Reynolds Creek. In the higher elevations, small water sources like Deaf Joe Spring and Jean Heade Spring are scattered among features like Twin Peaks and the Statue Hills. This survey captures the isolated character of these Owyhee County highlands, where the geography is still largely named for the prospects and pioneers who once populated the settlements of Democrat and its neighbors.
