About this map

Rooster Comb Peak rises as the central landmark of this high-elevation landscape in Owyhee County, where deep drainages like Johnston Draw and Wood Road Gulch carve into the high Idaho plateau. The terrain is defined by its water sources, including high-country springs such as Crows Nest Spring and Babbington Spring Number 2. These water points and sheltered spots like Chipmunk Meadow and China Flat reveal the logistical patterns of range life in the Great Basin’s northern edge.

A network of primitive routes, including Chipmunk Rd and Whiskey Hill Rd, connects remote landmarks like Crows Nest and Whiskey Mtn. The presence of the Z X Ranch Airport in the northeast, near Reynolds Cr, indicates the scale and modernization of local ranching operations. From the northern headwaters of Cottle Cr to the southern reach of Crane Cr, this survey provides a precise look at the geography used by backcountry explorers and local land managers.
