2017 Map of Mountain View Lake

About this map

Duck Valley and the Miller Creek Settlement define this arid landscape near the Idaho-Nevada border. This 2017 survey reveals an intricate network of water management, where the Owyhee River and Blue Creek support local agriculture through features like the Main Canal, Agency Canal, and White Rock Lateral. These man-made diversions contrast with the natural flow of Thacker Slough and Billy Shaw Slough, illustrating the importance of irrigation in Owyhee County. Local history is anchored by the Miller Creek Cem, located south of the main settlement area near Bell Cr. Significant water bodies including Mountain View Lake and the Boyle Cr Reservoir provide essential landmarks in a region largely navigated by Bureau of Indian Affairs routes such as 902 Bia and 211 Bia.
