About this map

Succor Creek defines the drainage pattern of this high-desert landscape on the Oregon-Idaho border, where ranching and mining history converge. The settlement of Sheaville sits at the intersection of Cow Creek Rd and Old Hwy 95 S, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rangeland. To the northeast, Coal Mine Basin and its accompanying Coal Mine Basin Creek suggest the area's geological and extractive history, while prominent landforms like Thomas Creek Ridge and Purser Ridge dominate the southern portion of the quadrangle.

Water sources are vital markers on this map, as evidenced by the numerous named springs such as Sticky Joe Spring, Hereford Spring, and Fenwick Spring. These features, alongside lush areas like Spring Creek Meadow and Dog Creek Meadow, trace the essential relationship between the arid terrain and the livestock industry. The map captures a high-elevation environment where travel was traditionally dictated by natural corridors like Hog Gulch and Westgate Gulch.
