About this map

Black Hills and the Red Hills rise above the high desert floor in this southeastern portion of Malheur County, Oregon. The landscape is defined by its remote volcanic topography, centered around a significant depression known as The Basin. This area remains largely undeveloped, characterized by wide-ranging section lines and limited infrastructure. The primary corridors through this arid terrain are the Old Ion Hwy, which cuts diagonally across the western sections, and Bowden Ranch Rd, providing access to isolated ranching operations. The mapping of these land boundaries within townships like t34s r40e and t35s r40e reflects the enduring importance of the Public Land Survey System in managing the vast, open spaces of the Oregon desert.
