About this map

Star Valley sits at the center of this remote Owyhee County landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by a network of water management and natural drainages. The Little Owyhee River carves a significant course through the Owyhee River Wilderness, flanked by landmarks such as Tent Creek Point and the high ground of 45 Hill.

Evidence of ranching and water conservation is prominent throughout the quadrangle, marked by several essential catchments including Sorrel Reservoir, Tent Creek Reservoir, Walcot Basin Reservoir, and Sundown Reservoir. These features, along with named flats like Halogeton Flat and the depressions of Walcot Basin, illustrate the geographic challenges of the region. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage patterns of Tent Creek as it feeds into the larger river system, offering a modern look at this corner of southwestern Idaho.
