1949 Map of Pot Hole Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Sailor Creek and Pot Hole Creek carve through this high desert terrain along the border of Owyhee and Elmore counties. The landscape is defined by the deep incisions of Pot Hole Canyon, a stark contrast to the surrounding plateau. Surveyed in the late 1940s using a combination of aerial photography and plane-table methods, the map captures a sparsely populated region primarily characterized by its drainage patterns and a single established Road winding through the western sections. This data, compiled just after the war, provides a precise look at the elevation and natural contours of this remote borderland before modern land management or infrastructure changes significantly altered the primitive transit routes used by ranchers and early travelers in the Idaho backcountry.
