About this map

The Owyhee Mountains define this high-altitude landscape, dominated by the prominent peaks of Swisher Mountain and Sommer Camp Mtn. This 2017 survey reveals a terrain defined by its complex hydrology, where numerous named water sources like Stanford Spring, Blue Clay Pit Spring, and Soda Spring provide critical points of interest in an otherwise arid environment. The presence of Chimney Pot Reservoir suggests managed water resources at the head of Chimney Cr.

Transport is limited to the rugged Cow Creek Rd, which winds through the northwestern corner near Alkali Draw. Local landforms such as Spain Hill, Bare Hill, and the vast Sommercamp Basin provide distinct navigational markers. The map also detail the descent into several steep drainages, including Split Rock Canyon and Wildcat Canyon, illustrating the erosion patterns of the northern and southern forks of Trout Creek.
