2020 Map of Indian Meadows

About this map

Indian Meadows occupies a central position within this drainage basin in Owyhee County, where the N Fork Owyhee River cuts through the high desert terrain. The landscape is defined by its complex network of seasonal and perennial water sources, including Indian Meadows Spring, Big Boggy Spring, and Surprise Spring, which historically served as critical landmarks for navigation and livestock in this arid environment. Elevation shifts are marked by features like Combination Ridge and Riley Gulch, illustrating the deeply eroded topography typical of the region. The map captures a contemporary look at these drainage systems, from the headwaters of Combination Cr and Bogus Cr to the southern reaches of Noon Cr, providing a precise record of the natural landmarks that have guided ranchers and travelers through this part of Idaho for generations.
