2011 Map of Flat Top Mountain SE

About this map

Old Ion Hwy and Bowden Ranch Rd intersect this high desert expanse in southeastern Malheur County, marking the primary human infrastructure in a landscape defined by drainage patterns and volcanic terrain. The eastern edge of the map is dominated by the Bowden Hills, which rise above the surrounding flats to overlook a topographic depression known as The Basin. This 2011 survey captures the area's transition between isolated ranching access routes and the open rangeland characteristic of the Oregon high desert, offering a precise view of the geographic features that have historically dictated movement and land use in this sparsely populated region.
