1973 Map of Star Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Little Owyhee River carves a deep path through the high plateau country of the Idaho-Nevada border in this early 1970s survey. The landscape is defined by its water management and grazing infrastructure, featuring a network of livestock reservoirs such as Sorrel Res, Tent Creek Res, and Sundown Res. The Star Valley Ranch and a nearby Well serve as focal points for human activity in this arid environment. The map details the transition from the broad expanse of Halogeton Flat to the dramatic topography of the Star Valley and the Walcot Basin. A primitive network of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of traversal, connecting remote landmarks like the Walcot Basin Reservoir across the state line between Owyhee County and Elko County.
