2011 Map of Danner

About this map

Danner sits at the heart of this high-desert ranching landscape in Malheur County, where water management and cattle operations define the terrain. The presence of several large, named estates such as Barrick and Shannon Ranch, Goose Ranch, and Skinner Ranch indicates a history of consolidated landholdings in the Danner Valley. The importance of water in this arid environment is evident in the engineered systems of the South Antelope Canal, Skinner Dam, and both the Antelope Reservoir and Rock Creek Reservoir. Transportation and logistics in this remote corner of Oregon are marked by long, unpaved routes like 3 Forks Rd and Anawalt Rd, as well as the private Skinner Ranch Airport, reflecting the isolation of these outposts. The map also captures the varied topography from the open valley to the steep descent of Jordan Creek Canyon.
