2017 Map of Wickahoney Crossing

About this map

Wickahoney Crossing serves as the focal point of this Owyhee County map, marking a transition point in the high desert of southwestern Idaho. The drainage patterns of Wickahoney Cr and Sugar Cr define the topography, with their winding courses cutting through the high plateau. The network of unimproved roads, including the prominent Battle Creek Rd and Sheep Creek Rd, illustrates the continued importance of livestock grazing and land management in this remote region. The inclusion of the CCC Rd points to the historical legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps in establishing the infrastructure of the Great Basin. This survey provides a clear look at the public land survey system divisions across six townships, from t9s r4e to t11s r5e, which organize this open range.
