1992 Map of Wilson Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Wilson Peak dominates the landscape of Owyhee County in this 1990s-era topographic survey, standing as a high-altitude landmark above a terrain defined by desert ranching and mining. The area around the Wilson Community Hall and Wilson Cemetery serves as the focal point for this rural community, where water management is critical for survival. A complex network of irrigation, including Bernard Ditch and Nicholson Ditch, draws from natural watercourses to support agricultural operations like the Feedlot near Hemingway Butte. Along the northeastern edge, the Snake River carves the boundary between Canyon and Owyhee counties, flowing past Wright Island and Bayha Island. Evidence of extractive industry is found throughout the hills, where numerous Prospect sites and an Open Pit Mine sit alongside numerous Guzzler installations for wildlife or livestock water.
