2020 Map of Wickahoney Crossing

About this map

Wickahoney Crossing serves as a central landmark in this high-desert portion of Owyhee County, where local travel is defined by a network of gravel and 4WD tracks. These routes, including Battle Creek Rd and Sheep Creek Rd, navigate the plateau between deeply incised drainages. The landscape is carved by the intermittent flows of Wickahoney Cr and Big Jacks Cr, while the eastern portion of the map is shaped by the drainage of Sugar Cr. The presence of the CCC Rd suggests the historical footprint of the Civilian Conservation Corps in managing this arid environment. This topography remains primarily focused on ranching and rangeland management, with large tracts defined by the Rectangular Survey System sections of Township 10 South and surrounding ranges.
