2018 Map of The Point

About this map

Owyhee serves as a central hub on the edge of Duck Valley in this northern Nevada landscape, where the Idaho border meets the high desert. The map captures a complex irrigation network essential for ranching and agriculture, dominated by the Thacker Lateral and White Rock Lateral feeding off the Owyhee River. This 2018 survey reveals a distinct cultural geography through its family and community burial sites, including the Smith Cem, Premo Cem, and the historically significant Chinatown Cem. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the Bull Run Mountains, featuring prominent landmarks like The Point and isolated water sources such as Thacker Spring and Gold Spring. The presence of the Owyhee Airport and a grid of local routes like Keefe Loop Rd and BIA Rd illustrates the modern infrastructure supporting this remote tri-state corner.
