2020 Map of Hill Pasture

About this map

Hill Pasture in Owyhee County is defined by a complex network of intermittent drainages and high desert terrain. Water management is central to this landscape, as evidenced by the engineering of Harveys V Reservoir and Dry Canyon Reservoir to capture seasonal runoff. These water sources, along with named springs such as Hicks Springs and Jimmy Cappel Spring, provide critical support for the region's ranching operations. Significant topographical landmarks like Hill Pasture Point, Harvey Point, and Willies Point overlook the deep incisions of Willies Canyon and Dry Canyon. The map reveals how the modern landscape is navigated via Battle Creek Rd, while the natural flow of the land follows the winding courses of Big Jacks Cr and Duncan Cr.
