2014 Map of Battle Creek Ranch

About this map

Battle Creek Ranch anchors this high-desert landscape in southeastern Oregon, where a network of seasonal water sources and ranching access roads defines the local geography. The terrain is characterized by prominent elevations like the Bowden Hills and significant crossings such as Overshoe Pass. Vital water points, including Tree Spring, Cherry Spring, and Harper Spring, are scattered throughout the draws and canyons, supporting the livestock operations that have long shaped this part of Malheur County. The map details a complex system of drainage and relief, with Isaac Canyon and Barn Canyon cutting through the upland plateaus. This 2014 survey documents the persistence of remote ranching infrastructure, such as the Woolhawk Reservoir and the naming of access routes like Beber Ranch Rd and Potomac Ranch Rd, which follow the contours of the arid environment.
