About this map

Pleasant Valley and the small settlement of Owyhee anchor this landscape southeast of Boise in the late 2010s. The area is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and local roads that cross the high desert terrain. Water management is central to the geography here, with Blacks Cr Reservoir situated in the northeast near Blacks Creek and the notable Isaacs Canyon.

Several prominent watercourses, including Tenmile Cr, N Indian Cr, and Indian Cr, dictate the layout of rural routes like Kuna Mora Rd and Pleasant Valley Rd. This map captures a specific moment in Ada County's development, showing the persistent agricultural and ranching infrastructure through labels such as Barker Rd and W Thompson Rd, which segment the large sections of the Public Land Survey System.
