About this map

De Lamar and Dewey sit at the center of this high-elevation terrain in the Owyhee Mountains, where the landscape is defined by deep gulches and significant peaks. The map details a complex network of drainages including Jordan Creek, Succor Creek, and Reynolds Creek that carve through the Silver City Range. Prominent summits such as Florida Mountain, DeLamar Mountain, and Tennessee Mountain surround the old settlements, reflecting the region's mining-era geography.

Surface features like Silver City Road provide modern access through this steep country, which is dotted with named springs such as Willingger Spring and Deaf Joe Spring. The drainage patterns, particularly around Last Chance Gulch and Rich Gulch, suggest the intense historical prospecting that once dominated this part of Owyhee County. This survey offers a clear view of the land as it appeared in the early 21st century, from the Statue Hills to the headwaters of the West Fork Reynolds Creek.
