About this map

The Mountain View Lake basin and the surrounding Owyhee County high desert define this landscape, where water management is central to the local geography. The area's hydrology is dominated by the Owyhee River and an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure, including the Agency Canal, Main Canal, and White Rock Lateral. These systems, along with the Boyle Cr Reservoir, highlight the engineering required to sustain life and agriculture in this arid region.

Evidence of local heritage and infrastructure is present in the Miller Creek Settlement and the nearby Miller Creek Cem, providing specific points of interest for genealogists tracing families in this part of Idaho. The map also documents a complex drainage system characterized by features like Billy Shaw Slough and Thacker Slough, as well as numerous creeks such as Blue Cr, Miller Cr, and Mud Cr. Notable landmarks such as Donabahiba Yogo and the National Guard Rd reflect the diverse cultural and administrative history of the territory.
