2023 Map of Avery Creek

About this map

Cottonwood Creek and Sixteenmile Creek drain the arid landscape of Malheur County in this 2023 survey. This region is defined by an extensive network of water management features, including several reservoirs named for local families or landmarks such as O'Toole Reservoir, Avery Reservoir, and the uniquely titled Good Place Reservoir. The map reveals a land utilized for ranching and resource management, with sparse transportation routes like Crowley Rd and Keeney Creek Rd navigating the terrain. Notable water sources such as Cottonwood Cabin Spring and Chastain Spring indicate the critical importance of reliable water in this high-desert environment. Several features bear names reflecting indigenous or local heritage, such as Hu-Tsi-Tehaga Creek and Te-he-cha-paa-nena Creek, providing a layer of cultural history to the drainage patterns of the Great Basin's edge.
