2017 Map of Stonehouse Creek

About this map

Pleasant Valley Cem serves as a quiet focal point in this high-desert landscape of Owyhee County, situated near the headwaters of Stonehouse Creek. This 2017 survey reveals a complex network of springs and drainages vital to the cattle ranching history of the region. Distinctive geological markers such as Split Rock and Split Rock Canyon punctuate the northern terrain, while the broad expanse of Noble Basin suggests the open range character of the Idaho-Oregon borderlands. The map details a landscape where water is the primary navigator, traced through numerous named sources like Ibex Spring, Dead Horse Spring, and Thorne Spring. Remote access is defined by rugged corridors like Flint Rd and Trout Creek Rd, which connect the scattered natural landmarks of Pleasant Valley to the broader drainage of Jordan Creek.
