2023 Map of De Lamar

About this map

The rugged mining districts of the Owyhee Mountains define this landscape, where the settlement of De Lamar serves as a central point along Jordan Creek. This survey captures the historical footprint of the region's late-19th-century silver boom, centered around the Silver City Range and significant peaks such as Florida Mtn and DeLamar Mtn. The topography is etched with deep drainages including Rich Gulch, China Gulch, and Slaughterhouse Gulch, reflecting the intense resource extraction history of the area. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific burial sites like Wagontown Cem and Delamar Cem, located near the winding path of Silver City Rd. Smaller mining-era sites such as Dewey and Democrat further illustrate the distribution of early Idaho high-country camps. The landscape is also marked by numerous natural water sources, from the Johnston Lakes in the north to isolated springs like Deaf Joe Spring and Willinger Spring.
