1980 Map of Skull Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Owyhee Canyon dominates this high-desert landscape in Malheur County, where the Owyhee River carves a deep, winding path through the terrain. The map details a remote region shaped by seasonal water management and livestock grazing, evidenced by a network of catchments such as Lambing Camp Reservoir, Skull Creek Reservoir, and Eiguren Reservoir. Human intervention in the arid environment is further highlighted by Scotts Ditch, which cuts across the flats near Indian Creek. Access to the canyon’s edge is provided by the Soldier Creek Trails and Pedro Trails, leading to the Owyhee Canyon Overlook. To the south, the elevation rises toward Grassy Mountain and its associated Grassy Mtn Lake, while prominent landmarks like Dead Horse Butte and the Hogback provide clear navigational markers for those traversing the Deary Pasture and Mud Flat.
