2023 Map of Salls Crossing

About this map

Salls Crossing serves as a central point of interest in this high-desert landscape of Owyhee County, situated where the Clover Creek drainage meets the deep incision of the East Fork Bruneau Canyon. The geography is defined by a series of high alluvial plains and seasonal watercourses, with notable landmarks such as Doe Flat and Buck Flat providing topographic breaks between the rugged draws. To the east, the landscape opens into broad drainage basins like Aikers Draw and Seventy-One Draw, where ranching infrastructure is evident through the presence of the Shirk Reservoir and the Seventy-One Draw Reservoir. Toward the southern reach of the sheet, the convergence of Three Creek and Deadwood Creek highlights the drainage patterns of this arid plateau. The local road network is sparse, represented primarily by the descriptive Crawfish Loop Rd, reflecting the remote and agricultural character of this Idaho backcountry.
