About this map

The Silver City Range dominates this portion of Owyhee County, where high-elevation terrain dictates the movement of water and travel alike. Drainage systems including Pickett Creek and Hart Creek flow through the northeast, while the southern slopes are defined by the headwaters of Alder Creek and Bridge Creek. The map documents a rugged landscape punctuated by vital water sources such as Henderson Springs and Linehan Spring, which were historically essential for ranching and transit in this arid high-desert environment.

Transportation through these highlands follows established corridors like the Bachman Grade and Triangle Rd, which negotiate the complex topography of Toy Pass and Hyde Saddle. Near the southern boundary, Toy Flat provides a rare stretch of level ground beneath the peaks of Red Mtn and Henderson Point. This survey captures the region's character as a network of springs and passes connecting the remote ridges of southwest Idaho.
