1990 Map of Williams Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

South Mountain dominates the southern landscape of this Owyhee County region, which is marked by a complex network of canyons and high-elevation drainages. In the late 20th century, the area remained defined by its mineral prospects and rugged accessibility, as evidenced by numerous adits, prospects, and a specific Mine Shaft located along the upper reaches of Williams Creek. Water management for high-desert ranching is visible via the Pleasant Valley Ditch drawing from Jordan Creek in the north. The presence of a remote Landing Strip near Glass Gulch underscores the isolation of these uplands, where travel relied heavily on 4WD tracks. From the peaks of Jims Peak to the deep cuts of Iron Mine Creek and Rail Creek, the map provides a look at the interplay between high-country topography and the persistent search for ore and water.
