About this map

Dew Drop Place and Wagner Field are isolated settlements within this high-elevation landscape of Owyhee County. The terrain is a complex network of seasonal drainages and meadowlands, including the namesake Indian Hay Meadows and State Line Meadows along the Idaho border. Water management is central to the area's utility, marked by Buckhorn Reservoir and numerous springs like Parker Spring and Martin Spring that feed into the various forks of Bull Creek.

Named landforms such as China Hat and Rough Mtn rise above the high desert floor, while the J-P Desert and Browns Basin highlight the arid character of the region. The presence of specialized clearings like Krutschmer Field and SS Field suggest local grazing or landing strips within the grazing territories of Buck Pasture. This 2020 survey documents the enduring pastoral and ranching infrastructure that defines this corner of the state.
