2010 Map of Stiff Tree Draw

About this map

Bruneau River carves through the arid landscape of Owyhee County, providing a critical water source in a region defined by its deep drainage patterns and volcanic terrain. In the early 21st century, this area remains characterized by its sparse human footprint and high-desert ecology. A rare point of named habitation is the Bengoechea Cabin, situated near a network of unimproved roads that navigate the plateaus between deep erosional features like Stiff Tree Draw and Sheepshead Draw. These draws, along with Cave Draw, serve as primary conduits for seasonal runoff toward the river. Notable landmarks such as J-P Point and the confluence with Sheep Creek illustrate the dramatic vertical relief and the intricate drainage network of this high-plateau environment.
