1947 Map of Perjue Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Perjue Canyon and the high desert terrain of Owyhee County are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and early transit corridors in this mid-century topographic record. The landscape is carved by deep watercourses such as Shoofly Creek, Twentymile Gulch, and Vinson Wash, illustrating the hydrologic patterns of southwestern Idaho before major modern development. The map details essential travel routes through this arid environment, specifically the Mud Flat Road and Poison Creek Road. These paths historically provided access to remote range lands and connections between distant settlements. Small landmarks like Halfway Gulch and Castle Creek serve as critical navigational points for those traversing the high plateaus and canyons of the Owyhee front.
