About this map

Castle Creek and its complex network of drainage washes define this arid landscape in Owyhee County, surveyed in the late 20th century. The terrain is marked by intermittent water sources and historical resource extraction, evidenced by the Open Pit Mine and various prospect sites scattered across the ridges. A small settlement at Corral sits near the northern boundary, while multiple 4WD trails and a designated Cutoff route navigate the shifting elevations of Rough Mountain.

Surface water is scarce, highlighted by the inclusion of a Flowing Well and Drill Hole alongside McKeeth Wash and Garbutt Wash. The presence of a Gravel Pit and Borrow Pit suggests localized industrial activity supporting the area's infrastructure. This survey provides a clear look at the hydraulic and geological markers of the high desert, from the Falls on a creek tributary to the family-named landmarks that define the Owyhee backcountry.
