2020 Map of State Line Camp

About this map

The South Fork Owyhee River snakes through the western portion of this high-plateau landscape, defining the topography of the borderlands between Idaho and Nevada. This 2020 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region dominated by vast open spaces like the Y P Desert and the prominent elevation of Peterson Table. Located at the intersection of Elko County and Owyhee County, the map records the enduring Public Land Survey System lines that segment the territory into townships and ranges. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by the presence of Garat Reservoir 69, a critical resource for the remote ranching operations that have historically characterized this interstate frontier. The lack of primary roads and modern development highlights the preserved isolation of the Owyhee backcountry.
