1989 Map of Jump Creek Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Jump Creek Canyon and the surrounding high desert of Owyhee County are documented in this 1980s topographical study. The terrain is defined by dramatic drainage systems, most notably the path of Jump Creek leading to the landmark Jump Creek Falls in the northern portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals a landscape managed for water and livestock, featuring the Big Ross Reservoir and scattered water sources like Wildcat Spring across the arid uplands. To the southwest, the broad depression of Sands Basin contrasts with the prominent elevations of Buck Mountain and French John Hill. The network of unimproved roads and four-wheel-drive tracks suggests a territory used for ranching and remote access, with named points such as Windy Point serving as vital navigational landmarks in the rugged Idaho backcountry.
