About this map

Salls Crossing serves as a focal point in this high-desert landscape, where the seasonal waters of Clover Cr have carved paths through the plateau. This 2020 survey of Owyhee County captures a region defined by its drainage systems and cattle-ranching infrastructure, featuring numerous named depressions and catchment basins like Seventy-One Draw and Buck Flat Draw. The geography is characterized by wide alluvial features such as Doe Flat and Buck Flat, set against the backdrop of the Mount Bennett Hills.

Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by a series of upland impoundments including Shirk Reservoir, Grassy Hills Reservoir, and Seventy-One Draw Reservoir. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the terrain becomes more complex as it approaches the East Fork Bruneau Canyon, where Three-Cr and Deadwood Cr converge to shape the deep drainage patterns typical of this remote Idaho territory.
