2010 Map of Triangle Flat

About this map

Triangle Flat and the settlement of Triangle occupy a high-desert landscape defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and remote ranching infrastructure. The area is dominated by the intersection of several notable watercourses, including Rock Creek, Rose Creek, and Josephine Creek, which flows into the Josephine Creek Dam at the southern edge of the quadrangle. This 2010 survey highlights a region shaped by limited access and water management, evidenced by the Spencer Dam and the isolated Triangle Airstrip. Transportation is limited to a few arterial routes like Flint Rd, Triangle Rd, and Antelope Ridge Rd, which traverse the high ground between Long Valley and the steep breaks of North Boulder Creek. The map provides a precise look at the rural character of Owyhee County, where land use is dictated by the availability of water in an arid environment.
