2020 Map of Deer Flat

About this map

Deer Flat and the surrounding high plateau of Malheur County define this high-desert landscape in southeastern Oregon. This remote territory is cut by the deep drainage of the W Little Owyhee River and the Lake Fork W Owyhee River, which wind through steep breaks like Louse Canyon and Massey Canyon. The distribution of water is the primary structural element here, evidenced by numerous named water sources critical for livestock and wildlife in an arid environment, including Pedroli Spring, Horse Hill Spring, and Indian Spring.
