2020 Map of Juniper Basin

About this map

Owyhee River watercourses carve through the high desert of Owyhee County, defining the northeastern corner of this remote Idaho landscape. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features including the Juniper Basin Reservoir and the expansive Juniper Basin, which collect drainage from intermittent streams like Juniper Cr. This area is characterized by its drainage infrastructure, shown through specific sites like Y P Reservoir Number 1 and Y P Reservoir Number 33, reflecting the region's managed water resources for ranching or land management. Steep elevation changes are most prominent at Hole Up Canyon and the deep Owyhee Canyon. The presence of State Line Rd running through the southeastern section indicates the proximity to the Nevada border, serving as one of the few established transportation routes through this sparsely populated territory.
