2020 Map of Grasshopper Flat South

About this map

Juans Forty anchors the southern landscape of this high-desert region in Malheur County, where ranching infrastructure and seasonal water sources define the map. The terrain is a network of named flats and canyons, from Grasshopper Flat and Hanson Flat to the deep cut of Chicken Springs Canyon. Water management is central to the area's utility, marked by several significant catchment points including Echave Reservoir, Rosio Reservoir, and Trail Cr Reservoir. Local land use is further evidenced by named clearings like Anacabe Field and the primitive road network, including Nouque Ranch Rd and Jackson Creek Rd. Geologic and hydrologic features such as Hole-in-the-Ground and multiple springs like Rock Spring and Maiden Spring indicate the essential, scattered resources relied upon in this arid environment.
