2020 Map of Jarvis Pasture

About this map

Jarvis Pasture and the surrounding high desert of Owyhee County are defined by a complex network of water management and deep canyon topography. The Owyhee River carves through the southern portion of the map, creating dramatic features like Owyhee Canyon and Hole Up Canyon. This 2020 record illustrates the vital role of artificial water sources in this arid landscape, featuring the Wiley Reservoir in the north and a series of sequential catchments including Jarvis Pasture Reservoir Number One, Jarvis Pasture Reservoir Number Two, and Jarvis Pasture Reservoir Number Three. Access across this remote terrain is primarily facilitated by the Garaf Trl, which winds through the central pasture toward Windy Point. The map also captures several smaller drainages like Yatahoney Cr and Juniper Cr, which feed into the larger river system or seasonal basins like Juniper Basin.
