Reservation description:The Shoshone-Paiute Reservation, also known as the Duck Valley Indian Reservation, consists of 280,071 acres and is located on the southern boundary of Idaho and the northern state line of Nevada. The East Fork of the Owyhee River flows through the reservation providing irrigated water through the Wildhorse Reservoir to 12,800 acres of tribal farmland.
