About this map

Fly Valley and its surrounding drainage systems define this portion of Union County, Oregon, as documented in 2011. The landscape is structured by a complex network of forest roads and waterways, most notably the winding course of Sheep Creek and its tributary, East Sheep Creek. The area maintains its agricultural and pastoral character through the presence of the Vey Ranch, which includes the specialized Vey Sheep Ranch Airstrip in the northeastern quadrant of the map.

Water sources are vital landmarks here, including both Blue Spring and Warm Mineral Spring. The eastern edge of the survey is bounded by the Grande Ronde River, where it meets the confluence of Chicken Creek and Dry Creek. The intricate system of tributaries like Little Fly Creek and West Chicken Creek illustrates the watershed's role in supporting the local ranching economy and forest management within the Blue Mountains region.
