2023 Map of Hole In Rock

About this map

Big Jacks Creek Wilderness defines the western edge of this Owyhee County landscape, where the Big Jacks Creek Wild and Scenic River carves through the high desert plateau. This high-altitude terrain is marked by distinctive geological formations like the Black Rocks and the prominent Big Hill in the southeast. Water is a scarce but critical resource in this arid environment, represented by the ephemeral Deadman Gulch and the isolated Hole-in-Rock Lake. The human footprint is sparse, primarily traced by the evocative Broken Wagon Trail Rd, a name that suggests the difficult passage encountered by early travelers through this portion of Idaho. Surveyed in the early 21st century, the map details the Township and Range system across the high plains, centered on the Hole in Rock landmark.
