Deacon Crossing sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape where the Middle Fork Owyhee River winds through the borderlands of Malheur County, Oregon, and Owyhee County, Idaho. The 2017 survey reveals a remote ranching and grazing environment defined by a complex network of water management, from the large Sharon Creek Reservoir and Pole Creek Reservoir to smaller points like Maher Reservoir and State Line Reservoir. This infrastructure suggests the area's continued reliance on seasonal water catchments in a region of deep canyons and volcanic breaks.
