De Lamar

De Lamar is a ghost town tucked into Owyhee County, Idaho, sitting at an elevation of 5,463 feet. Bureau of Land Management land surrounds the site, placing it under federal oversight rather than private or municipal control.

The town sits roughly 6 miles west of Silver City, making it accessible as part of a broader exploration of this remote corner of Idaho. Visitors today encounter the remnants of a former community in a high-desert setting, with the BLM's jurisdiction keeping the area publicly accessible.

Access to this part of Owyhee County is typically seasonal. The elevation and regional road conditions generally make visits most practical from late spring through early fall, with winter months bringing conditions that can render routes to the area difficult or impassable.
