About this map

Boghole Spring and a series of high-desert water sources define this remote corner of Malheur County, where the Oregon Canyon Mountains rise sharply above the basin floor. The landscape is characterized by a network of springs and reservoirs critical for livestock and wildlife, including Deafenbough Reservoir Number 1, Deafenbough Reservoir Number 2, and the notably named Myers Waterhole. This 2020 survey reveals a land managed for its scarce resources, with The Slough and Tenmile Cr marking the eastern drainage patterns.

Transportation through this high-altitude terrain is limited to primitive routes like Mc Dermitt Rd and Disaster Peak Rd, which snake around prominent landforms such as Flat Top and Mendi Suri. In the northeast, Hot Spring Hills overlooks Hot Spring, suggesting the geothermal activity common to the region. The map provides an essential record of water rights and topographic landmarks for modern land management and historical research.
