2017 Map of Sugarloaf

About this map

Collier Place stands as a focal point in this high-desert Owyhee County landscape, situated near the western edge of the Little Jacks Creek Basin. The terrain is defined by a complex network of canyons and drainage systems, including the prominent Little Jacks Cr and Big Jacks Cr. Water remains the most critical resource for this arid environment, evidenced by the scattered development of Buckaroo Spring, Conners Spring, and the Harveys Canyon Reservoir. The drainage patterns suggest a landscape shaped by seasonal runoff, where topographical landmarks like Sugarloaf, The Hat, and the aptly named Comical Turn served as essential navigation aids for travelers and ranchers. Deep incisions like Willies Canyon and Dry Canyon illustrate the erosive forces at work in the sagebrush-covered plains and high plateaus.
