2011 Map of Carney Butte

About this map

Mountain Home sits amidst the drainage networks of central Umatilla County, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by a dense series of north-running canyons. The landscape is carved by Bear Creek, Owings Creek, and Bridge Creek, which create deep topographical relief between features like Robinson Canyon and Tinroof Canyon. The 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey highlights the importance of water sources in this dry environment, noting reliable landmarks such as Willow Spring, Yellow Jacket Spring, and Cold Spring.
