1973 Map of Dickshooter Reservoir

About this map

Antelope Basin dominates the northern landscape of this Idaho high-country survey, characterized by its network of seasonal water sources and distinct geological formations. The area is defined by a series of dramatic canyon systems, including the deeply incised Black Canyon and Dickshooter Canyon, which transition into the more open terrain of Cowboy Basin and the prominence of Flatiron Butte. Water management and resource exploration appear as primary activities in this remote Owyhee County terrain. The Dickshooter Reservoir serves as a central hydrological feature, fed by Dickshooter Creek, while labels for Prospects and a Drill Hole near the reservoir suggest a history of mineral assessment or subsurface exploration. A network of primitive Jeep Trails provides the only access through this complex topography, connecting remote points like Albert Spring and Antelope Spring across the plateau.
