1972 Map of Snow Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Rough Mountain and Bald Mountain dominate this corner of Owyhee County, where the high desert landscape is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and essential water sources. In the early 1970s, the area's utility was centered on livestock and water management, evidenced by the presence of a Corral and various catchments like Big Sagehen Reservoir and Elk Reservoir. The terrain is deeply incised by Perjue Canyon Creek and the curiously named The Between Fork, while an Aqueduct underscores the ongoing efforts to move water across Antelope Flat. Scattered prospects and names like 90 Foot Hole suggest a history of exploration and local land-use landmarks. The map documents numerous vital water points for the era, including Rose Briar Spring, Snow Creek Spring, and Chokecherry Spring, which were critical for navigating this arid section of Idaho.
