2010 Map of Indian Hay Meadows

About this map

Dew Drop Place and Johnstons Camp sit within a landscape of high desert drainage in Owyhee County, defined by the complex branching of Bull Creek, Sheep Creek, and Meadow Creek. This 2010 survey shows the remote cattle-ranching and range management infrastructure typical of southwestern Idaho, featuring named landmarks such as Goat Pens and Tindall Water Hole Two. Water management is central to this environment, illustrated by the Buckhorn Reservoir at the northern edge and smaller impoundments like the Tindall Dam. The terrain is marked by distinctive topographical features including the prominence of China Hat and the grazing lands of Buck Pasture and Indian Hay Meadows. Scattered agricultural or landing strips like Krutschmer Field and Wagner Field suggest the scale of operations in this high-elevation basin near the Nevada border.
