1973 Map of Piute Basin East

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Owyhee River canyons and the arid reaches of the Y P Desert dominate this 1970s landscape in Owyhee County. The survey captures a high-plateau environment defined by strategic water management, where numerous isolated catchments like Kimball Basin Reservoir and Packsaddle Reservoir support cattle operations in an otherwise parched terrain. The Wiley Ranch stands near the northern boundary, while Garat Crossing provides a named point of passage over the river in the east. Beyond the water bodies, the map details the rugged topography of Coyote Rim and the prominent Piute Butte. This era of the desert is marked by infrastructure including a Pipeline and a Compressor Station, reflecting the industrial footprint upon the remote Owyhee ranchlands.
