1971 Map of Flying H Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The northern edge of the Duck Valley Indian Reservation meets a landscape defined by ranching and seasonal waterways in this 1971 survey of Owyhee County. The eponymous Flying H Ranch sits central to a network of drainage systems including Shoofly Creek, Blue Creek, and Payne Creek, which carve through the high desert terrain. Local infrastructure is minimal, marked by the Bacon Rind Gate and a series of Jeep Trails that connect remote outposts. Evidence of earlier habitation or abandoned structures is noted by several Corrals and a set of Ruins near the eastern margin. The map captures the isolated character of the Idaho-Nevada borderlands before modern development, focusing on the essential water sources and livestock boundaries like Rough Lake that sustained the region's cattle-based economy.
