2011 Map of Flag Prairie

About this map

Flag Prairie and its associated Flag Prairie Cow Camp center this 2011 U.S. Geological Survey of Grant County, where the high-altitude landscape is defined by its seasonal water sources and grazing lands. The map details a sophisticated network of springs, including Canteeno Spring, Seven D Bar Spring, and Sage Hen Spring, which sustain life across the high terrain of Rattlesnake Ridge and Prairie Hill. Significant drainage systems like the Little Malheur River and North Fork Malheur River carve through the geography, alongside smaller named features like Lost Dog Flat and Bear Creek Meadow. This modern survey reveals the continued reliance on water management in the high desert, evidenced by the WPA Reservoir and the Burned Tree Reservoir. For those interested in public land use, the map marks the Crane Creek Campground and various Forest Service roads such as Ndfr 1675 that provide access to this remote portion of Oregon.
