2014 Map of Cow Valley East

About this map

Malheur Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this Malheur County high-desert terrain, where drainage networks like Cottonwood Cr and Willow Cr carve through the arid plateau. The map centers on the transition between the rolling uplands of Reservoir Butte and the namesake Cow Valley to the south. Historically significant transit corridors define the layout of the region, most notably the Military Rd and the John Day Hwy, which intersect near the drainage of Antelope Springs Cr. These routes speak to the area's long-standing role as a passage for travel and livestock through the southeastern Oregon interior. The elevation rises significantly at Brogan Hill and Brogan Hill Summit, overlooking a topography defined by complex water management features like Davis Reservoir Four and seasonal creeks.
