2020 Map of Bannock Ridge

About this map

Bannock Ridge and the high desert plateaus of eastern Oregon define this corner of Malheur County, where water is the primary architect of the landscape. The reliance on seasonal moisture is evident in the naming of several critical water sources, including the Long Gulch Reservoir and Upper Saddle Butte Reservoir, as well as numerous springs like Gravel Spring and Bannock Gulch Spring. These features suggest a history of range management and livestock grazing across the high elevations.
