2020 Map of Crowley

About this map

Crowley lies at the intersection of high-desert ranching and the basin-and-range topography of Malheur County. The landscape is defined by its water sources, with clusters of springs such as Whiskey Springs, Jurries Springs, and Marking Corral Springs serving as vital points in an otherwise arid environment. Ranching infrastructure is central to the area, evidenced by the Crowley Ranch Airstrip and established grazing areas like Long Field and Porter Field. The terrain transitions from the low flats of Barren Valley to the prominent heights of Stockade Mtn and Star Mtn, which overlook a network of seasonal drainages including Rapid Cr and Little Crowley Cr. This 2020 survey records the enduring layout of the Crowley-Riverside Rd corridor, reflecting the continued importance of these remote routes for connectivity between isolated homesteads and water resources like the Cook Reservoir.
