About this map

Flying H Ranch sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Owyhee County, where a complex network of seasonal drainages defines the territory. The map illustrates a hydrological system centered on Blue Creek and Harris Creek, which flow through the center of the survey area. To the south, the terrain descends toward Duck Valley, a significant regional marker near the Idaho border.

The presence of scattered water sources like Rough Lake and various named tributaries, including Shoofly Creek and Squaw Creek, highlights the importance of water management for cattle operations in this arid environment. Transportation is limited to a few arterial routes such as Point Lock Rd and Battle Creek Rd, reflecting the isolated ranching character of the land during the early 21st century.
