1980 Map of Caviatta Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Caviatta Ridge defines the high ground of this Malheur County landscape, where water security dictated the patterns of use in the late 1970s. The map reveals a complex network of small-scale water management features essential for ranching and survival in this arid territory. Numerous catchments such as Echave Reservoir, Peacock Pond Reservoir, and the descriptively named Dry Hole Reservoir are scattered across the drainages of Peacock Creek and Dry Creek. These points, along with Mustang Water Hole and Deadman Water Hole, signify the vital connection between topography and life-sustaining resources in the high desert. Beyond the hydrology, the presence of Garlow Butte and Garlow Butte Spring suggests established landmarks for navigation and land use, while a network of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of traversing the high ridges and deep draws.
