About this map

Malheur National Forest encompasses much of this high-desert landscape in Harney County, characterized by a complex network of seasonal creeks and localized water sources. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Mt Tom and Thompson Mtn, while the distribution of numerous named springs—including Ralphs Spring, Jordan Spring, and Morgan Spring—suggests the critical importance of reliable water for livestock and land management in this arid region. Man-made infrastructure is visible in the form of several water catchments, notably Miller Reservoir, Poer Reservoir, and Temple Reservoir. These features, along with names like Oard Flat and Greenley Gulch, reflect the ranching history and geographic nomenclature of eastern Oregon. The survey provides a clear view of the drainage patterns for Pine Cr and Gould Cr, illustrating how the land was partitioned for forest management and resource use during the early twenty-first century.
