2024 Map of Grasshopper Flat South

About this map

Grasshopper Flat and Hanson Flat define this high-desert region of Malheur County, where the landscape is marked by essential water sources for ranching and wildlife. The drainage network of Big Antelope Creek and Trail Creek dictates the movement across the terrain, supplemented by man-made catchments like Echave Reservoir and Rosio Reservoir. Significant natural springs, including Maiden Spring and Chicken Springs, appear near the deep cut of Chicken Springs Canyon, while the unique geological depression of Hole-in-the-Ground stands as a prominent landmark. Settlement and activity are concentrated near remote family-named locations such as Juans Forty and along established ranching corridors like Nouque Ranch Rd, illustrating the persistence of high-altitude livestock operations in this corner of Oregon.
