About this map

South Mountain and the high-elevation terrain of southwestern Idaho define this 2013 survey of the Owyhee mountains. The landscape is deeply incised by a dense network of drainages, including Jordan Creek, Big Boulder Creek, and the curiously named Old Man Creek. These waterways provide a clear indication of the complex local hydrology feeding into larger regional systems. Evidence of human movement and land use is sparse, primarily confined to the S Mountain Rd and the broad opening of Pleasant Valley in the north.

The map reveals historical identifiers of early territorial activity, such as Iron Mine Creek and Glass Gulch, which hint at prospecting and resource extraction efforts that once occurred in these remote peaks. Prominent landmarks like Jims Peak serve as significant navigational points within a territory where roads are few and the terrain dictates the flow of travel through valleys like those carved by Rail Creek and Pole Bridge Creek.
