About this map

Pixley Basin serves as the central focal point for this 2020 landscape in Owyhee County, characterized by a complex drainage network feeding into Castle Cr and Pixley Cr. The high-desert terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Doyle Mtn, Black Butte, and Rough Mtn, which define the surrounding basins and gulches.

Water sources are vital to this environment, evidenced by numerous named springs including Reservation Spring, Goodman Gulch Spring, and Portland Gulch Spring. The mapping of features like Hogpen Gulch and Shirt tail Gulch suggests a history of land use centered on livestock and seasonal water management. The topographic detail highlights the intricate system of canyons and ridges between Reservation Basin and Gamble Gulch, providing a modern view of this remote Idaho interior.
