About this map

Doyle Place stands as a singular named habitation in this high-desert landscape of southwestern Idaho, situated north of the prominent Rough Mountain range. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the terrain is defined by its critical water sources, which dictated the movement of people and livestock through the Owyhee backcountry. A network of Jeep Trails and unnamed Trails connects various remote points such as Doyle Mountain and Horsehead Spring, illustrating the importance of access in a region where travel was constrained by the local drainage systems. The presence of a Prospect near the headwaters of Birch Creek suggests small-scale mineral exploration common to this era. Notable landmarks like Little Half Moon Pass and the Mud Flat Road provide essential orientation for those navigating between Poison Creek and the southern springs.
