About this map

Gooseberry Spring and Evans Lick Spring anchor the high plateaus of Owyhee County, marking critical water sources in a landscape defined by its network of drainages and seasonal flows. This high-desert terrain is structured by the prominent Antelope Ridge, which serves as a divide between the numerous creek systems that carve through the Owyhee landscape. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Hurry Up Cr, Louisa Cr, and Sheep Cr moving through steep-walled canyons toward the larger basins.

Water management for livestock is evident at the Long Tom Troughs, situated near Long Tom Cr in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. Access to this remote rangeland is primarily facilitated by the Antelope Ridge Rd, which follows the high ground. Other scattered water points like Station Spring and Giusti Spring highlight the essential infrastructure required for surviving and working in this corner of Idaho.
