2010 Map of Stonehouse Creek

About this map

Pleasant Valley Cemetery serves as a lone cultural landmark in this high-desert landscape of Owyhee County, situated along Stonehouse Creek. The terrain is defined by deep incisions and drainage basins, most notably the towering Split Rock and the associated Split Rock Canyon to the north. A network of unpaved corridors including Flint Rd and Cow Creek Rd navigate the complex topography, connecting remote basins like Noble Basin with various watercourses. The hydrology is dominated by the winding path of Jordan Creek in the south, which draws from tributaries like Lone Tree Creek and Duck Creek. This region, documented in the early 21st century, reflects a landscape utilized primarily for ranching and transit through the high Owyhee plateau, with names like Connors Canyon and Wood Canyon hinting at early settlement and resource use.
