2024 Map of Wilson Peak

About this map

Wilson Peak and Hemingway Butte define the topography of this Owyhee County landscape, where the high desert terrain meets the managed water systems of the Snake River valley. The northern edge of the map reveals a critical riparian habitat preserved within the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge, featuring Wright Island and Bayha Island. Irrigation infrastructure is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Bernard Ditch and China Ditch, which redirect flow across the plains near Reynolds Creek. Local history is anchored at the Wilson Cem, located off Wilson Creek Rd. The network of local routes like Cemetery Ln, China Ditch Rd, and Youngs Ln connects remote ranching or agricultural outposts to the primary watercourses of Wilson Creek and its surrounding foothills.
