West Little & North Fork Owyhee National U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Vale District Office 100 Oregon Street Vale, Oregon 97918 September 1993 Main, West Little and North Fork Owyhee National Wild and Scenic Rivers Management Plan and_Environmental Assessment As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Department of the Interior has responsibility for most of our nationally owned public lands and natural resources. This includes fostering the wisest use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish and wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places, and providing for the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The Department assesses our energy and mineral resources and works to assure that their development is in the best interest of all our people. The Department also has a major responsibility for American Indian reservation communities and for people who live in Island Temtories under U.S. administration. BLM/OR/WA/PL-93/38+1792 United States Department of the Interior BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT Vale District Office I 00 Oregon Street IN REPLY REFER TO: Vale, Oregon 97918 SEP I 0 1993 Dear River User: Enclosed for your review is the Final Management Plan and Environmental Assessment for the Main, West Little, and North Fork Owyhee Rivers. This plan and the environmental assessment included herein are the result of a long and careful process of public involvement, issue identification, objective setting, action planning, and impact analysis. The final plan differs significantly from the draft both in terms of format and detail. We have attempted to articulate more clearly the relationship of issues, objectives and management actions, and have organized the document in a way that we hope will be easier for individuals to extract and consider the information contained within. Decision: It is my decision that this management plan be adopted and implemented as proposed. This plan will provide for the protection and enhancement of the outstandingly remarkable values for which these rivers were designated Wild and Scenic. Appeals Process: Within 30 days of receipt of this decision, you have the right to protest to the Vale District Manager and there after appeal to the Board of Land Appeals, Office of the Secretary, U.S. Department of the Interior, in accordance with the regulations of 43 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 4.400. Any protest to the Vale District Manager must be filed in writing in the Vale District BLM Office, 100 Oregon Street, Vale Oregon, 97918. If no protest or appeals are filed this decision will become effective and be implemented in 30 days. Sincerely yours, n;::,lor Jordan Resource Area Manager United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Vale District Office 100 Oregon Street Vale, Oregon 97918 Main, West Little and North Fork Owyhee National Wild and Scenic Rivers Management Plan and Environmental Assessment September 1993 iii To Vale I I Scale Unknown U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Land Management VALE DISTRICT National Wild and Scenic Owyhee River System 1992 LOWER Burns Jet.

As agreed with your office, we gathered information on areas managed by two agencies: the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLN) and the Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service. Specifically, this report provides information on (1) legislative guidance and the agency policies governing wilderness study area management, (2) the various activities and uses occurring in the agencies’ study areas, (3) the ways these activities and uses affect the areas, and (4) agency actions to monitor and restrict these uses and to repair damage resulting from them. Appendixes I and II provide data on the number, acreage, and locations of wilderness study areas managed by BLM and the Forest Service, as well as data on the types of uses occurring in the areas.

    IDAHO BOUNDARY TRAIL HIKERS GUIDE 2020 By MIKE O’BRIEN & Jim “Yeti” Fulmis Copyright © 2020 www.fultek.com/ibt Please note that any discrepancies such as US Post office hour changes, prices, businesses closed or burned down is way beyond our control. If you discover changes, please send us information via email ([email protected]). This will help us to keep this guide up to date as best as possible. We did the trail in 2016 and updated everything, including all tracks and waypoints, which can be found at www.fultek.com/ibt. Trail closures, fires, or storms that blow down a lot of trees can and will happen. We discovered that ourselves in 2016. If you can, track anything you find different or just describe the differences and send those to the above email address. Tracks should be in GPX form. Also, there will be a text file named IBT_Hikers_Guide_Updates.txt online at www.fultek.com/ibt for any changes or additions we find out about after the book is published. Cover Photo: On the way to Owyhee State Park. Copyright © 2020 Mike O’Brien & Jim “Yeti” Fulmis Edited by: Melanie Simmerman All rights reserved. ISBN-13: 978-1793257536 Why another long trail? When we looked at a map of Idaho we saw a wide variety of terrain, desert, forest, mountains; lots of mountains. Not only that, but the border was mostly public land where we could choose where to hike and camp. Could we hike all the way around? It would be tough. First, we had to figure out a route, one that had reliable water in the desert (no trail angels in the Owyhee Desert!), and a route that touched the special places, like the Tetons, the Bitterroot and Selkirk Mountains, the cedar rainforests in the north.

  • Owyhee Monument Proposal Legacy Landscape
    Legacy Landscape O v e r v i e w Preface here the remote corners of Idaho, Oregon and Nevada come together lies one of the most unique and spectacular high desert areas remaining in the continental United WStates. This region, known as the Owyhee - Bruneau Canyonlands, represents one of the last best examples of the wide-open country which once characterized the American West. Consisting of high sagebrush and grassland plateaus incised by deep, sheer-walled river canyons and mountains dominated by juniper woodlands, the Owyhee-Bruneau Canyonlands stretch across an area twice the size of Yellowstone National Park. Home to some of the nation’s rarest fish, wildlife, and plant species, scientific assessments have rated the region one of the most bio- logically rich and diverse high deserts in the country. Humans have been part of the Owyhee country for over 15,000 years—resulting in the richest concentration of archaeological sites in Idaho. It is also one of the greatest contiguous landscapes of historical and cultural significance in the West. The unique geologic, biologic, and historic resources of the Owyhee-Bruneau Canyonlands lend the region to protection as a national monument under the Antiquities Act. This docu- ment was prepared to compile the wide range of scientific information identifying the national- ly significant values of this land and to put forth the argument for monument designation. Focusing on the geology, paleontology, landscape ecology, biology, archaeology, history, and cul- ture of the Owyhee-Bruneau Canyonlands, this document also presents a picture of the threats posed to these values and the landscape as a whole.
