About this map

Sheaville sits at the southern edge of this modern survey, where the high desert of the Owyhee Mountains straddles the border between Oregon and Idaho. The landscape is defined by its water sources and livestock history, marked by numerous named springs such as Sticky Joe Spring, Baltzar Spring, and Badger Spring. These water points support the expansive grazing lands of Spring Creek Meadow and Dog Creek Meadow.

Geographical features like the Thomas Creek Ridge and Coal Mine Basin illustrate the varied terrain that local ranchers and miners have navigated for generations. The road network, including Old Hwy 95 S and Silver City Rd, provides a modern look at historical transit corridors through Malheur County and Owyhee County. The drainage patterns of Succor Creek and its many tributaries, like Whiskey Creek, reveal the natural irrigation of the high basins.
