About this map

Eagle Valley and the northern reaches of Brownlee Reservoir define this high-desert landscape in Baker County. The terrain is a complex network of drainage systems, with Daly Creek and its many tributaries, such as the North Fork Daly Creek and Wilkins Creek, carving deep through the territory. Named landmarks like Sheep Mtn and Peavine Flat provide clear points of orientation for those studying the topography of eastern Oregon.

Evidence of historical water management and transportation routes is visible throughout the area. The Stegle Ditch represents a traditional method of moving water for local use, while the presence of the Sass and Shaw Ranch Rd points to the area's agricultural and ranching heritage. Several significant canyons and gulches, including Deer Gulch and Three Canyon, illustrate the erosive power of the Powder River as it approaches its confluence with the Snake River system.
