About this map

Soldier Cap rises as a prominent landmark in this high-desert portion of Owyhee County, where a complex network of seasonal drainages and mountain peaks defines the topography. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by water and elevation, from the heights of Tims Peak and Getaway Mtn to the recessed floor of Shares Basin. Historically significant water sources like Lemonade Spring provide critical points of interest in an otherwise arid environment.

Transportation through this isolated terrain is limited to a handful of established routes, notably Coyote Grade Rd and Wilson Creek Rd, which navigate the steep gradients of the Horse Race Ridge and Wilson Bluff areas. The drainage systems of Hardtrigger Cr and Salmon Cr weave through the township lines, converging toward the lower elevations of the Owyhee front. This survey provides a precise view of the geographic relationships between these named features as they existed in the early 21st century.
