About this map

The Saylor Creek Air Force Range dominates this 1990s landscape, illustrating the significant military footprint in the high desert of southwest Idaho. The map reveals a land defined by arid drainage patterns, most notably the winding paths of Sailor Creek and Pot Hole Creek. These watercourses carve through the plateau, creating distinct topographic features such as the eponymous Pot Hole Canyon in the southern portion of the quadrangle.

A clearly defined Military Reservation Boundary runs through the center of the sheet, marking the division between restricted training grounds and the surrounding public land. This boundary intersects several section lines near the Owyhee and Elmore County line. The terrain is sparsely developed, with limited infrastructure represented by the lone W Grindstone Rd in the northeast corner, reflecting the remote nature of this strategic landscape during the late twentieth century.
