Owyhee

The landscape around Owyhee is high, semi-arid basin country, which has shaped both the settlement pattern and the local economy. The community lies on Nevada’s far northeastern edge within the Duck Valley Indian Reservation, homeland of the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes and a reservation that crosses into Idaho. The Owyhee River is the valley’s defining watercourse, running through broad sagebrush country below the Owyhee Mountains. Owyhee is the reservation’s main Nevada community and home to tribal government offices; nearby Wildhorse Reservoir is a regional destination for fishing and boating.
