1973 Map of Dickshooter Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Dickshooter Ridge dominates this high-desert landscape in Owyhee County, where a network of seasonal water sources and canyons defines the topography. The presence of Spencer Camp and numerous small-scale water improvements, such as Black Canyon Res, White Rock Res, and Jus Reservoir, indicates a territory managed for livestock grazing rather than permanent settlement. The southern boundary is marked by the Owyhee River and the expansive Y P Desert, highlighting the isolation of this corner of Idaho in the early 1970s. Steep drainage systems like Deep Creek and Dickshooter Creek cut through the volcanic plateaus, leaving a trail of isolated canyons and points. A complex web of jeep trails and tracks connects these remote reservoirs, providing a map of the era's land use and access in one of the state's most sparsely populated regions.
