2017 Map of Crowley

About this map

Crowley anchors this high-desert landscape in Malheur County, situated at the intersection of Crowley-Riverside Rd and Crowley Rd. The area is defined by its vital water sources, including the centrally located Crowley Reservoir and a series of naming-rights springs such as Whiskey Springs, Porter Spring, and Jurries Springs. The topographic relief is dominated by Star Mtn and Stockade Mtn, which overlook agricultural and grazing lands like Long Field and the aptly named Barren Valley. Evidence of the region's isolated ranching infrastructure is seen in the Crowley Ranch Airstrip, providing a critical link to this remote portion of southeastern Oregon. The map detail highlights the importance of seasonal drainages like Little Crowley Cr and Rapid Cr in an environment where water access dictates the pattern of human activity and settlement.
