About this map

Pleasant Valley and its surrounding high-desert range define this corner of Owyhee County, where a network of livestock ponds and springs supports the local ranching economy. The landscape is deeply etched by watercourses such as Jordan Creek and Stonehouse Cr, which cut through prominent landforms like Split Rock and Noble Basin. High-altitude water sources are essential to the region's geography, evidenced by features such as Cottonwood Trail Pond, Sams Pond, and Mud Springs Pond.

Transport through this isolated terrain relies on historic corridors like Flint Rd and Cow Creek Rd, which follow natural ridgelines and canyon floors. Genealogists and local historians can find a specific point of interest at the Pleasant Valley Cem, situated along Pleasant Valley Rd. The map also details numerous named seasonal water sources like Summit Spring Number One and Dead Horse Spring, illustrating the critical importance of water rights and access in this arid Idaho environment.
