About this map

Bannock Ridge anchors this corner of Malheur County, where the high desert landscape is defined by a series of steep gulches and isolated buttes. Water sources are critical identifiers in this arid environment, marked by sites such as Bannock Gulch Spring, Currant Spring, and Long Gulch Reservoir. The terrain rises toward Mahogany Mtn in the southwest, while more modest elevations like Smith Butte and Saddle Butte stand out against the horizon.

A network of primitive roads, including the Board Corral Loop and Leslie Gulch Rd, provides access to the interior. Local history is represented by The Whitenburg, a named landmark situated near the headwaters of Sulphur Spring. The map documents a complex drainage system where Runaway Cr and Road Canyon Cr carve through high points like Runaway Hill, illustrating the rugged erosional patterns of the Oregon high country.
