2010 Map of Williams Creek

About this map

South Mountain anchors this Owyhee County landscape, where a network of seasonal and perennial streams carves through the high Idaho terrain. The primary transportation artery, South Mountain Rd, winds through the central and western sections, tracing the drainage patterns of Williams Creek and Pole Bridge Creek. Water management is represented by Pershall Dam along Rail Creek, a significant point of infrastructure in an otherwise largely undeveloped environment dominated by grazing and watershed features. To the west, Jims Peak stands as a prominent topographical landmark above the headwaters of Owl Creek and Lone Tree Creek. The nomenclature across the quadrangle, including Iron Mine Creek and Cattle Creek, suggests a history of local industry and ranching. Other distinct landforms like Glass Gulch near Jordan Creek further define the intricate drainage network characteristic of the region.
