About this map

Collier Place sits as a lonely human outpost in this high-desert landscape of Owyhee County, characterized by a complex network of seasonal drainages and named landmarks. The terrain is defined by dramatic geographic features such as the Little Jacks Creek Basin and the distinct volcanic or erosional profile of Sugarloaf. Water, though scarce, is marked by vital points like Buckaroo Spring, Conners Spring, and Harveys Canyon Reservoir, which reflect the historic ranching and livestock reliance on this arid range.

Deep canyons carve through the basalt-capped plateaus, most notably Willies Canyon and Dry Canyon. The map records specific local nomenclature for the winding trail network, such as the Comical Turn, and identifies topographic landmarks like The Hat. The intricate contouring illustrates the descent of Little Jacks Cr and Big Jacks Cr as they navigate through the Sagebrush Basin, providing an essential guide for understanding the hydrology and land use of this Idaho backcountry.
