1972 Map of Hill Pasture

About this map

Big Jacks Creek carves a deep, winding path through the high plateau country of Owyhee County, defining the drainage patterns of this remote Idaho landscape in the early 1970s. The map reveals a land utilized for seasonal grazing and water management, evidenced by the presence of cattle-rearing infrastructure like the Harveys V Reservoir and the Dry Canyon Reservoir. Named landmarks such as Willies Point and Hill Pasture Point rise above the drainage of Willies Canyon, while localized human activity is anchored at the Harvey Place and Holman Cabin. The network of Jeep Trails and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the northern reaches highlight the industrial and recreational access points into this high-desert terrain during the post-war era.
