2023 Map of Jump Creek Canyon

About this map

Owyhee Mountains topography defines this portion of southwest Idaho, where the dramatic descent of Jump Creek Canyon leads toward the Jump Creek Falls. This modern survey documents a landscape of high desert basins and drainages, notably Sands Basin and Wildcat Canyon, which have long served as essential corridors for movement through the region. The map reveals the intricate network of water management and access, including the South Canal and Big Pass Reservoir, reflecting the ongoing importance of water rights in this arid environment.
