About this map

Pole Creek Wilderness occupies the central heart of this high-desert Owyhee County landscape, where the drainage of Pole Creek and Camas Creek carves through volcanic plateaus. The distribution of water sources like Sam Noble Spring, Marmaduke Spring, and Ccc Spring — likely a reference to Civilian Conservation Corps activity — highlights the critical infrastructure required for rangeland management in this arid territory. Man-made catchments such as Bullhead Reservoir and Johnson Reservoir further illustrate how the natural geography has been adapted for livestock and irrigation.
