2010 Map of Fairylawn

About this map

Fairylawn serves as a central reference point in this corner of Owyhee County, where the high desert landscape is defined by a sparse but intentional network of ranching outposts and water management. The North Fork Owyhee River carves through the terrain, fed by numerous seasonal drainages like Dougherty Creek and Cottonwood Creek. Human activity is concentrated along the Juniper Mountain Rd, which connects remote locations such as the Lowrey Ranch and Hanley Cabin. Small-scale irrigation and livestock support are evident through features like Forster Reservoir, Foland Dam, and Juniper Creek Dam. Named clearings like Gertrudes Meadow and Peer Field indicate specific sites of historical land use in an area where every named landmark serves as a critical navigational marker. This documentation reflects the enduring ranching character of the Idaho backcountry in the early 21st century.
