2017 Map of Salls Crossing

About this map

Clover Cr and Deadwood Cr carve deep channels through this high desert plateau in Owyhee County, defining a landscape of canyons and expansive flats. The topography is dominated by the Mount Bennett Hills and the dramatic incision of the East Fork Bruneau Canyon, where the drainage of Big Flat Cr and Three Cr meet. This 2017 survey details the remote cattle country and water management infrastructure essential to the region, including the Shirk Reservoir, Grassy Hills Reservoir, and Seventy-One Draw Reservoir. Named for its traditional stream passage, Salls Crossing serves as a central landmark amidst the surrounding terrain of Doe Flat and Buck Flat. The map also traces the winding Crawfish Loop Rd, the primary artery through these draws and canyons, and notes several named drainages like Aikers Draw and Seventy-One Draw.
