2010 Map of O X Lake

About this map

Little Jacks Creek carves a winding path through this high desert region of Owyhee County, serving as a primary drainage for the surrounding plateaus. The landscape is defined by its seasonal water sources and catchment basins, most notably the Twin Lakes Reservoir and the adjacent Twin Lakes. These features, along with Ox Lake, represent critical water management points in an otherwise arid environment. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the headwaters of Shoofly Creek, including its West Fork and East Fork tributaries. The presence of Halfway Gulch and Rattlesnake Creek further illustrates the complex erosional patterns that characterize this part of Idaho. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a landscape where primitive roads and seasonal creek beds dictate movement across the terrain.
