The Owyhee River cuts a deep path through the High Desert of Malheur County, carving the dramatic Owyhee Canyon across this landscape. During the early 1980s, the region was defined by a complex network of water management, evidenced by the numerous reservoirs scattered throughout the high country, including the Oregon Hill Reservoir, Bull Creek Reservoir, and East Beaver Charlie Reservoir. These earthen dams supported livestock and irrigation in a territory where water is the primary currency of survival.
