1972 Map of Shoofly Springs

About this map

Shoofly Springs and a network of high-desert water sources define this 1970s landscape in Owyhee County. The terrain is marked by the deep incision of Battle Creek and the meandering path of Shoofly Creek, where early ranching and livestock infrastructure is evident through numerous reservoirs and remote jeep trails. The distribution of Eds Defeat Reservoir, Owens Reservoir, and Willow Creek Reservoir across the arid plateau suggests a reliance on carefully managed water storage for range management during this era.
