1977 Map of State Line Camp

About this map

South Fork Owyhee River cuts a deep, winding canyon through the high desert floor of this borderland region. Mapping in the late 1970s shows the sparsely populated intersection of Idaho and Nevada, where the boundary between Owyhee and Elko counties is marked across the open range. The landscape is dominated by the vast Y P Desert and the elevated plateau of Peterson Table. Human activity in this arid environment is centered on the State Line Camp, which is supported by a local Water Tank and a significant Pipeline traversing the northern section of the sheet. The terrain is characterized by intricate contour lines defining the river's erosional path and scattered Gravel Pits that suggest localized resource extraction in an otherwise remote livestock or transit corridor.
