2010 Map of Dickshooter Ridge

About this map

Dickshooter Ridge rises above a high desert landscape characterized by a complex network of seasonal water management and rugged drainage systems in Owyhee County. This remote corner of southwestern Idaho is defined by the winding course of Deep Creek and its tributary Dickshooter Creek, which carve deep incisions into the plateau toward the Owyhee River in the south. The distribution of small-scale infrastructure like Spencer Camp and a series of upland water catchments including Black Canyon Reservoir, Kincaid Reservoir, and White Rock Reservoir reflects the region's historical reliance on range management and livestock grazing. Named landmarks such as Black Canyon and Battle Creek offer insights into the topographical obstacles and local nomenclature of this high-elevation terrain during the early 21st century.
