About this map

Rough Mtn and the surrounding high desert of Owyhee County define this landscape, where natural springs and seasonal drainages provided critical water sources for generations of cattle ranchers and travelers. The map traces a network of remote corridors including Castle Creek Rd and Doyle Rd, which cut through the high-elevation terrain between Twentymile Gulch and the southern slopes. To the south, the protected expanse of the Little Jacks Creek Wilderness encompasses the rugged drainages of Poison Creek and Lone Juniper Creek. Notable high points like Half Moon Pass and Little Half Moon Pass mark the traditional transit routes through the peaks. This modern survey reflects the enduring character of the Idaho backcountry, where names like Poison Gulch Spring and Lower Birch Spring point to the vital, localized geography of the desert West.
