1972 Map of Little Blue Table

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Little Blue Table dominates this high-plateau landscape in Owyhee County, where a system of isolated reservoirs supports livestock and wildlife across a network of drainages. The 1972 field survey reveals a terrain defined by cattle-country infrastructure, featuring scattered watering holes like Sewell Reservoir and Table Reservoir. Notably, the presence of Petroglyphs at multiple sites near Rattlesnake Basin and the southern slopes indicates a long history of human movement through these breaks and flats. Water remains the critical factor for navigation and land use here, with Little Blue Creek and Payne Creek cutting through the basins. Traces of historical travel are preserved in the Jeep Trail that crosses Wild Horse Table, providing a record of the mid-century tracks used by ranchers and surveyors before more permanent road developments reached these remote interior uplands.
