2011 Map of De Bord Peaks

About this map

De Bord Peaks and the high desert terrain of eastern Malheur County define this remote landscape at the turn of the 21st century. The map provides a detailed view of drainage patterns and ranching infrastructure, such as Dutch John Cabin and the nearby Dutch John Section along Dutch John Creek. This area is characterized by a complex network of seasonal watercourses and steep topography, including Sheep Dip Canyon, Black Stump Canyon, and Timber Gulch. Human presence is marked by primitive travel routes like Rose Creek Rd and Belknapp Rd, which connect isolated landmarks like Squaw Butte and Rail Canyon. The hydrology is dominated by the Clover Creek and South Willow Creek systems, illustrating how water access dictates movement and land use in this arid region of Oregon.
