About this map

Huntington Junction serves as a focal point in this high-desert landscape of eastern Oregon, where a complex network of water management features reveals the region's agricultural dependency. The map documents an intricate system of man-made waterways including the Cole Ditch, Low Line Ditch, and East Side Ditch, which redirect flow across the arid terrain. These irrigation routes connect larger catchment areas like the Pole Creek Reservoir and Davis Reservoir Three to the natural drainage of Willow Creek.

Evidence of early exploration and prospecting survives in descriptive toponyms such as Discovery Gulch, Cash Gulch, and Lost Watch Creek in the northern reaches. The terrain is defined by prominent landmarks like Edwards Butte, while numerous water sources including Worthington Spring and Thompson Spring suggest critical stopovers for travelers moving along the Huntington Rd or the Mormon Basin Cutoff Rd.
