About this map

Miller Creek Settlement and the southern reaches of the Duck Valley reservation define the human landscape of this high-desert region in Owyhee County. The drainage of the Owyhee River is heavily managed for irrigation, evidenced by the complex network of the Agency Canal, Main Canal, and the White Rock Lateral 10 BIA. Water storage is centralized at Mountain View Lake, held by the Mountain View Dam, and the nearby Boyle Creek Reservoir.

Evidence of historical ranching and infrastructure appears in features like the Stone Corral and several numbered windmills, including Windmill Number 1. For genealogists and local historians, the Miller Creek Cemetery stands as a primary point of interest near the settlement. The map also traces established routes like Pleasant Valley Rd and the Damon Trail, which navigate the basin's sloughs and creeks.
