2020 Map of Slack Mountain

About this map

Slack Mountain rises as a central landmark in this high-desert Owyhee County landscape, where water management is the primary evidence of human activity. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal drainages and numerous small impoundments such as Burkhart Reservoir, Hackberry Reservoir, and Kecks Reservoir. These features, alongside isolated watering points like Frying Pan Spring and Jackass Spring, illustrate the infrastructure required for livestock grazing in this arid environment.
