2010 Map of Oreana

About this map

The small settlement of Oreana serves as the focal point of this high-desert landscape in Owyhee County. Located at the intersection of Oreana Rd, Bates Creek Rd, and Short Cut Rd, the area is defined by a sparse network of ranch roads and significant watercourses that drain the surrounding basin. To the north, Rye Patch lies near the upper reaches of Fossil Creek, while Fossil Butte stands as a prominent topographical landmark. The hydrology of the region is well-articulated, showing the paths of Pickett Creek, Hart Creek, and Browns Creek as they traverse the arid terrain. The mapping reveals a rural infrastructure dependent on established routes like Murphy Grandview Rd and Nettleton Rd, reflecting the enduring settlement patterns of this part of Idaho.
