About this map

The Duck Valley Indian Reservation dominates the northern landscape of this survey, straddling the high desert borderlands between Nevada and Idaho. The Owyhee River and its South Fork provide the vital water source for the region, managed through infrastructure like the China Dam and the Lateral Canal. Small settlements such as Owyhee and Number One Settlement serve as the primary hubs of activity, while the southern portion of the map transitions into the steep, timbered reaches of the Humboldt National Forest.
