About this map

The Jean Baptiste Charbonneau Grave marks a site of significant historical weight near the small settlement of Danner. This landscape in Malheur County is defined by a sophisticated network of water management, including the S Antelope Canal and N Antelope Canal, which feed into the expansive Antelope Reservoir. These features, along with Rock Creek Reservoir, illustrate the critical role of irrigation in sustaining ranching and habitation in this corner of Oregon.

Waterways like Jordan Creek wind through the terrain, cutting the prominent Jordan Creek Canyon and feeding into marshy reaches such as Goose Ranch Slough and Castle Slough. The presence of the Skinner Ranch Airport and roads like the Old Ion Hwy emphasize the area's specialized transportation needs. Topographical landmarks including Hard Up Point and Jack Creek Hill overlook the distinct flats of Rock Creek Flat and Antelope Flat, providing a clear view of the transition between plateau and drainage basin.
