About this map

Wickahoney Point and the high plateaus of Owyhee County define this arid landscape, where water management is the primary driver of human modification. The presence of several impoundments, including Arrow Point Res, Duncan Creek Res, and Buncel Res, highlights the necessity of water storage in this high-desert environment. These reservoirs are linked by a network of drainage systems like Duncan Creek and Wickahoney Creek, which carve deep incisions through the terrain such as Zeno Canyon.

Evidence of ranching and land use is visible at named landmarks like Wild Horse Table and Crab Creek Basin. The remote nature of the area in the early 21st century is emphasized by the sparse road network, consisting largely of Jacks Creek Rd and the Duncan Creek Crossing. Named springs like Antelope Spring and Duncan Creek Spring remain critical water sources in a landscape dominated by basaltic plateaus and seasonal creeks.
