About this map

The North Fork Malheur River flows through the high desert landscape of eastern Oregon, where the impounded waters of the Beulah Reservoir dominate the local geography. This remote settlement area, focused around the small community of Beulah, shows a distinct pattern of land use centered on water management and ranching. The presence of the Agency Valley Dam and nearby Agency Valley Cemetery suggests a community shaped by the early 20th-century irrigation projects that transformed the Agency Valley.

Evidence of early travel and commerce is visible through features like the Cable Crossing and Footbridge near the river, while a Landing Strip and various Borrow Pits reflect modern infrastructure needs. Notable landmarks such as Castle and Agency Mountain provide topographical context for the rugged terrain, which is further dotted with numerous water sources like Springs (Hot) and named gulches including Water Gulch and Mill Gulch.
