2023 Map of Chipmunk Basin

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Chipmunk Basin occupies a high-elevation landscape in Malheur County, where water is the primary driver of name and place. This high desert terrain is defined by a series of isolated water sources essential for cattle and wildlife, including Chipmunk Spring, Exchange Spring, and Coffeepot Spring. These points of reliable water likely served as vital hubs for local ranching operations, a role echoed by the presence of man-made structures like Steer Canyon Reservoir and Horse Hill Reservoir. The sparse human imprint on the land is represented by Pole Creek Rd, which winds through the basin near Horse Hill. Notable drainage patterns include Big Antelope Creek and the curiously named Bend-of-Pole Creek, illustrating how the local geography has been navigated and labeled by those working this arid portion of southeastern Oregon.
