2017 Map of Hill Pasture

About this map

Hill Pasture defines this corner of Owyhee County, where the high plateaus of southwestern Idaho are carved by a complex network of canyons and seasonal drainages. The landscape is characterized by prominent overlooks such as Hill Pasture Point, Willies Point, and Harvey Point, which provide vantage points over the deep incisions of Dry Canyon and Zeno Canyon. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by Harveys V Reservoir and Dry Canyon Reservoir, alongside natural sources like Hicks Springs and Jimmy Cappel Spring. These features suggest a history of livestock grazing and rangeland use, supported by the remote Battle Creek Rd. The map tracks the winding course of Big Jacks Cr and Duncan Cr as they navigate the sharp elevation changes of this high-desert terrain.
