2023 Map of Jarvis Pasture

About this map

Yatahoney Creek carves through this high desert plateau, feeding a series of vital water sources in an otherwise arid environment. The landscape is defined by its water management and wilderness protections, centered around the Jarvis Pasture area. This 2023 survey details a network of catchment systems, including Jarvis Pasture Reservoir Number One, Jarvis Pasture Reservoir Number Two, and Jarvis Pasture Reservoir Number Three, which serve the needs of this ranching and grazing territory. In the south, the terrain drops sharply into the Owyhee Canyon, where the Owyhee River is protected within the Owyhee River Wilderness. This stretch is further designated as the Owyhee Wild and Scenic River, highlighting its ecological and recreational importance. Remote features like Windy Point, Hole Up Canyon, and the Garaf TRL provide essential landmarks for navigation across the basin.
