2013 Map of Swisher Mountain

About this map

Swisher Mtn and Sommer Camp Mtn dominate the high terrain of the Owyhee Mountains in this corner of southwestern Idaho. The landscape is defined by a complex network of drainages and springs, where water sources like Stanford Spring, Grace Spring, and Chubby Spring served as vital points for livestock and land management. The presence of named features like Petersons Crossing and Cow Creek Rd indicates the historical movement of people and goods through the canyons and across the flats. Topographical landmarks such as Spain Hill, Bare Hill, and the deep Split Rock Canyon reveal the erosion-carved character of the region. The high-elevation basins, including Sommercamp Basin and Baxter Basin, provide a clear look at the grazing and ranching heritage of the area, punctuated by numerous remote springs like Kiyi Spring and Willinicker Spring.
