About this map

Pleasant Valley and its surrounding high-desert terrain define this modern survey of Owyhee County, Idaho. The landscape is a network of ridges and drainages, most notably Long Ridge and the Split Rock Canyon area, where cattle ranching and seasonal grazing have long shaped the land. The presence of the Pleasant Valley Cem provides a focal point for genealogical research in this isolated ranching community, while named water sources like Big Springs and Cottonwood Trail Pond illustrate the vital importance of water management in the arid West.

Transportation through the basin relies on established routes such as Pleasant Valley Rd and Flint Rd, which connect remote homesteads and grazing allotments. Terrain features like Noble Basin and Wood Canyon highlight the topographical diversity of the region, where numerous named springs—including Mud Spring and Thorne Spring—mark essential stops for livestock and wildlife across the Idaho interior.
