About this map

Indian Hay Meadows sits at the heart of this Owyhee County landscape, where the high desert terrain is punctuated by isolated water sources and seasonal fields. The geography is defined by a series of meadows and named clearings such as Fork Meadow, Wids Meadow, and Krutschmer Field, which suggest a long history of cattle or sheep ranching. This is further evidenced by functional labels like Goat Pens and Johnstons Camp near the J-P Desert.

Surface water is scarce and highly localized, centered on developed improvements like Buckhorn Reservoir and various named springs including Teds Spring and Parker Spring. The drainage network of Sheep Cr and Bull Cr carves through the terrain, leading toward significant landmarks like China Hat and Rough Mtn. This map provides a clear record of the specific waypoints and seasonal camps essential for navigating this remote corner of Idaho.
