1973 Map of Spring Creek Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

South Fork Owyhee River and the Little Owyhee River converge within this high-desert landscape in the early 1970s, carving deep canyons through Owyhee County. The terrain is defined by the broad Spring Creek Basin and elevations like Spring Butte and Juniper Basin. Evidence of land use is sparse, marked primarily by a lone Corral and a network of Jeep Trails and unnamed Trails that navigate the ridges and canyon rims. The presence of a Cave and various isolated Springs highlights the fundamental importance of water and shelter in this arid environment. To the southeast, the geography levels out at Halogeton Flat, showing the transition from dramatic river-cut basalt canyons to more uniform plateau surfaces.
