1979 Map of Grasmere

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Wickahoney and Grasmere anchor this high-desert Owyhee County landscape during the late 1970s, a region defined by its reliance on seasonal water sources and expansive grazing lands. The map highlights the sparse infrastructure of the era, marked by a network of Jeep Trails connecting remote locations like the Sego Place (Site). Water is the primary driver of movement and habitation here, with multiple unnamed Springs feeding into drainage systems like Wickahoney Creek, China Creek, and Nanny Creek. Prominent geological landmarks such as Poison Butte and Gedney Butte rise above the terrain, providing essential orientation points in the open country. Local history is etched into the land through features like a lone Grave and a functional Corral, suggesting the quiet presence of ranching life and early homesteading efforts in this corner of Idaho.
