About this map

De Lamar and the mining-rich slopes of the Silver City Range dominate this 2017 survey of Owyhee County. The high-altitude landscape is deeply incised by a network of drainage gulches and canyons, including Rich Gulch, China Gulch, and Slaughterhouse Gulch, which historically supported the region's extraction industry. Significant peaks such as Florida Mtn, DeLamar Mtn, and Tennessee Mtn provide the topographical context for the area's development.

Evidence of late 19th-century settlement persists through labels for Democrat and Dewey, connected by the winding Silver City Rd. The map also captures several natural water sources essential to this arid mountain environment, from Johnston Lakes in the north to isolated springs like Willingger Spring and Jean Heazle Spring. The terrain is characterized by striking formations such as the Statue Hills and Twin Peaks, situated near the headwaters of Cow Cr.
