About this map

The high desert drainage systems of Owyhee County define this landscape, where intermittent watercourses have carved distinct paths through the arid terrain. The map detail centers on the intricate network of washes and creeks, including the prominent Cloudburst Wash and the winding course of Castle Creek. Roadways like Collett Rd and Steiner Valley Rd trace the contours of the land, providing access to the remote ranching corridors that have long characterized this part of Idaho. This topography illustrates the complex hydrology of the region, from the wide expanses of Garbutt Wash to the southern reaches of McKeeth Wash. The distribution of named roads such as Ranch House Ln suggests a sparse but enduring human presence tied to the land's natural geography and water resources.
