2020 Map of Cedar Mountain

About this map

Cedar Mountain stands as a prominent elevation in this high desert section of Malheur County, overlooking a landscape defined by an extensive system of water management. The terrain is characterized by numerous small-scale water collection points, such as Cook Stove Reservoir and the uniquely named Hard Time Reservoir. These features, along with the Cook Stove Basin, suggest a historical reliance on seasonal water catchments for ranching and land use in an arid environment. Transportation through the area is anchored by Crowley Rd and Antelope Flat Rd, providing access to isolated landmarks like Little Mud Flat and the headwaters of Butte Cr. The network of basins and reservoirs, including Long Walk Reservoir and Burnt Stump Reservoir, provides a detailed look at how geography was adapted for survival and industry in this corner of the state.
