1982 Map of Battle Creek Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Battle Creek Ranch serves as the focal point of human settlement in this high desert landscape of Malheur County. The terrain is defined by the steep rises of the Bowden Hills and the deep incisions of Isaac Canyon and Box Canyon. Water management is central to life in this arid environment, evidenced by scattered improvements such as Cherry Well, Woolhawk Reservoir, and numerous named water sources like Cherry Spring and Tree Spring. The map documents a network of unimproved roads and trails that traverse the complex topography, connecting remote points through high-elevation gaps like Overshoe Pass. These paths trace the natural contours of the land, winding through Barn Canyon and following the course of Battle Creek, illustrating the logistical challenges of ranching and movement in this part of southeastern Oregon during the late twentieth century.
