2012 Map of The Point

About this map

Number One Settlement sits in the high desert landscape of the Duck Valley near the border of Nevada and Idaho. The area's complex water management is clearly visible through an extensive network of irrigation features, including the Main Canal, Duck Valley Canal, and the Sheep Creek Ditch, which redirect water from the Owyhee River and its tributaries across the basin. This desert hydrology is further defined by seasonal features like Billy Shaw Slough and Thacker Slough. For those looking into local lineage, the map records several distinct burial grounds south of the main settlement, including Premo Cemetery, Smith Cemetery, and Chinatown Cemetery, while the Owyhee Airport and local landmarks like The Point and Coyote Hole serve as key navigation markers in this vast ranching and reservation landscape.
