Sheep Creek (Bruneau River tributary)
Sheep Creek is a 63-mile (101 km) long[1] tributary of the Bruneau River. Beginning at an elevation of 6,126 feet (1,867 m)[2] east of Owyhee in northern Elko County, Nevada, it flows generally north into Owyhee County, Idaho and the Owyhee Desert, where it is roughly paralleled by Idaho State Highway 51. It then flows to its mouth in the Bruneau – Jarbidge Rivers Wilderness,[3] at an elevation of 3,415 feet (1,041 m).[4] In 2009, 25.6 miles (41.2 km) of the creek were designated as wild by the Omnibus Public Land Management Act, which also created the Bruneau – Jarbidge Rivers Wilderness.[5][6]
