About this map

De Armond Mountain and the high ridges of Malheur County define this arid landscape, where the management of water is central to the area's geography. The presence of numerous small-scale catchments such as Angel Wells Reservoir, Becker Reservoir, and Burnt Mountain Reservoir indicates a terrain historically adapted for livestock and seasonal grazing. These water sources are scattered across varied landforms, from the plateau of Poverty Flat to the deep recesses of Whitley Canyon and Cave Canyon.

Lower elevations near Agency Vall transition into more complex relief toward the eastern boundary, marked by Bendire Ridge and Bendire Mountain. The hydrography of the region is driven by the North Fork Warm Springs Creek and the Warm Springs Reservoir, which collect flow from numerous isolated springs like Munkers Spring and Indian Spring. This map documents a quiet, working landscape of the American West, where small settlements like Big Flat exist alongside rugged geological features like Slaughter Gulch.
