  • 12. Owyhee Uplands Section
    12. Owyhee Uplands Section Section Description The Owyhee Uplands Section is part of the Columbia Plateau Ecoregion. The Idaho portion, the subject of this review, comprises southwestern Idaho from the lower Payette River valley in the northwest and the Camas Prairie in the northeast, south through the Hagerman Valley and Salmon Falls Creek Drainage (Fig. 12.1, Fig. 12.2). The Owyhee Uplands spans a 1,200 to 2,561 m (4,000 to 8,402 ft) elevation range. This arid region generally receives 18 to 25 cm (7 to 10 in) of annual precipitation at lower elevations. At higher elevations, precipitation falls predominantly during the winter and often as snow. The Owyhee Uplands has the largest human population of any region in Idaho, concentrated in a portion of the section north of the Snake River—the lower Boise and lower Payette River valleys, generally referred to as the Treasure Valley. This area is characterized by urban and suburban development as well as extensive areas devoted to agricultural production of crops for both human and livestock use. Among the conservation issues in the Owyhee Uplands include the ongoing conversion of agricultural lands to urban and suburban development, which limits wildlife habitat values. In addition, the conversion of grazing land used for ranching to development likewise threatens wildlife habitat. Accordingly, the maintenance of opportunity for economically viable Lower Deep Creek, Owyhee Uplands, Idaho © 2011 Will Whelan ranching operations is an important consideration in protecting open space. The aridity of this region requires water management programs, including water storage, delivery, and regulation for agriculture, commercial, and residential uses.

In 1863 gold was discovered on Jordan Creek, starting the boom and bust cycle of Silver City. During the peaks of activity in the local mines, the population grew to a few thousand residents with a full range of business services. Most of the mines played out by 1914. Today there are numerous summer homes and one hotel, but no year-long residents. Nine miles “down the road” from Silver City was DeLamar, another mining boom town.

  • Climate Change Vulnerability and Adaptation in the Intermountain Region Part 1
    United States Department of Agriculture Climate Change Vulnerability and Adaptation in the Intermountain Region Part 1 Forest Rocky Mountain General Technical Report Service Research Station RMRS-GTR-375 April 2018 Halofsky, Jessica E.; Peterson, David L.; Ho, Joanne J.; Little, Natalie, J.; Joyce, Linda A., eds. 2018. Climate change vulnerability and adaptation in the Intermountain Region. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-375. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. Part 1. pp. 1–197. Abstract The Intermountain Adaptation Partnership (IAP) identified climate change issues relevant to resource management on Federal lands in Nevada, Utah, southern Idaho, eastern California, and western Wyoming, and developed solutions intended to minimize negative effects of climate change and facilitate transition of diverse ecosystems to a warmer climate. U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service scientists, Federal resource managers, and stakeholders collaborated over a 2-year period to conduct a state-of-science climate change vulnerability assessment and develop adaptation options for Federal lands. The vulnerability assessment emphasized key resource areas— water, fisheries, vegetation and disturbance, wildlife, recreation, infrastructure, cultural heritage, and ecosystem services—regarded as the most important for ecosystems and human communities. The earliest and most profound effects of climate change are expected for water resources, the result of declining snowpacks causing higher peak winter

  • Fungi from the Owyhee Region
    FUNGI FROM THE OWYHEE REGION OF SOUTHERN IDAHO AND EASTERN OREGON bY Marcia C. Wicklow-Howard and Julie Kaltenecker Boise State University Boise, Idaho Prepared for: Eastside Ecosystem Management Project October 1994 THE OWYHEE REGION The Owyhee Region is south of the Snake River and covers Owyhee County, Idaho, Malheur County, Oregon, and a part of northern Nevada. It extends approximately from 115” to 118” West longitude and is bounded by parallels 41” to 44”. Owyhee County includes 7,662 square miles, Malheur County has 9,861 square miles, and the part of northern Nevada which is in the Owyhee River watershed is about 2,900 square miles. The elevations in the region range from about 660 m in the Snake River Plains and adjoining Owyhee Uplands to 2522 m at Hayden Peak in the Owyhee Mountains. Where the Snake River Plain area is mostly sediment-covered basalt, the area south of the Snake River known as the Owyhee Uplands, includes rolling hills, sharply dissected by basaltic plateaus. The Owyhee Mountains have a complex geology, with steep slopes of both basalt and granite. In the northern areas of the Owyhee Mountains, the steep hills, mountains, and escarpments consist of basalt. In other areas of the mountains the steep slopes are of granitic or rhyolitic origin. The mountains are surrounded by broad expanses of sagebrush covered plateaus. The soils of the Snake River Plains are generally non-calcareous and alkaline. Most are well-drained, with common soil textures of silt loam, loam and fine sand loam. In the Uplands and Mountains, the soils are often coarse textured on the surface, while the subsoils are loamy and non-calcareous.

    RESEARCH Mesozoic magmatism and deformation in the northern Owyhee Mountains, Idaho: Implications for along-zone variations for the western Idaho shear zone B. Benford1, J. Crowley2, M. Schmitz2, C.J. Northrup2, and B. Tikoff1 1DEPARTMENT OF GEOSCIENCE, UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN, MADISON, WISCONSIN 53706, USA 2DEPARTMENT OF GEOSCIENCES, BOISE STATE UNIVERSITY, BOISE, IDAHO 83725, USA ABSTRACT The northern Owyhee Mountains of southwestern Idaho contain granitoid rocks that are the same age as the Cretaceous western border zone of the Idaho batholith to the north of the Snake River Plain. They contain a well-developed and consistently oriented 020° foliation, zircon yielding U-Pb dates of ca. 160–48 Ma, and initial 87Sr/86Sr isotopic compositions that show a steep west-to-east transition in values from 0.704 to 0.708 over a distance of ~30 km. The rocks of the northern Owyhee Mountains are interpreted to be the southward continu- ation (Owyhee segment) of the western Idaho shear zone. Similar to a well-studied section of the western Idaho shear zone by McCall (McCall segment), the Owyhee segment displays steep foliation and lineation orientations, deformation of 98–90 Ma plutons, steep Sr iso- topic gradients, and syntectonic tonalite intrusions. However, the Owyhee segment has three major differences from the McCall segment: (1) signifi cantly less well-developed solid-state strain fabric foliations; (2) trend of 020° rather than 000°; and (3) a wider transition zone in initial Sr ratios from 0.704 to 0.708. We present a simple tectonic model to explain these differences, assuming a 20° along-zone difference in the initial orientation of the western margin of the Laurentia, a rigid-body collision, homogeneous material behavior, and transpressional kinematics.
