About this map

Sheep Ridge dominates the center of this landscape in Payette County, serving as a high point between the drainages of Big Willow Cr and Little Willow Cr. The agricultural development of this arid terrain is evidenced by a complex system of water management, including the Patton Canal, McIntyre Canal, and Nelson Canal, which divert water to support local land use.

The map reveals a deeply dissected topography defined by numerous named canyons and gulches, such as Stone Quarry Gulch, Alley Gulch, and Tucker Canyon. Notable water sources like Bradford Spring and Sheep Spring provide vital points of interest in this high-desert environment, while roads such as Big Willow Rd and Stone Quarry Rd follow the natural contours of the valley floors to connect the region.
