2010 Map of Salls Crossing

About this map

Salls Crossing and the surrounding high desert of Owyhee County are defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and remote transit points. In this corner of southwestern Idaho, the drainage patterns of Clover Creek and Deadwood Creek dictate the landscape, carved by geographic features like Seventy-One Draw. This survey captures a region where movement is oriented around historical crossing points, including Smith Crossing and Crawfish Crossing, which provided essential passage through the drainage basins of Big Flat Creek and Three Creek. The terrain is characterized by broad, high-elevation plateaus such as Doe Flat and Buck Flat, reflecting a landscape dedicated to rangeland and resource management where the road network follows the natural contours of the draws and creek beds.
