About this map

Military Rd cuts across the lower half of this Malheur County landscape, marking a historical route through the high desert. To the north, the terrain is dominated by the Malheur Reservoir, which gathers waters from Jeff Davis Creek and Willow Creek. This arid region is defined by distinct volcanic and erosional features such as Reservoir Butte and Cow Valley Butte.

Lower elevations open into the eponymous Cow Valley, a broad drainage area fed by Cow Creek and Antelope Springs Creek. The eastern portion of the map is constrained by the rising elevations of Brogan Hill, culminating at the Brogan Hill Summit. The distribution of smaller water sources like Davis Reservoir Four suggests a landscape managed for cattle and land use in a region where water management is central to the local economy.
