About this map

Graveyard Point stands as a prominent landmark along the jagged interstate boundary between Malheur County, Oregon, and Owyhee County, Idaho. This high-desert landscape is defined by the deep incisions of Succor Cr and its tributaries, including Buck Gulch and Camp Kettle Cr. Human intervention in this arid environment is evident through water management features such as Bishop Ditch, North Alkali Draw Reservoir, and the S Canal.

Transportation and infrastructure are concentrated along the north-south axis of State Line Rd, which separates the more rugged terrain of the Owyhee Mountains to the east from the drainage basins of the west. To the south, Graveyard Rim overlooks Strode Basin, while the presence of Tunnel Number 7 indicates significant engineering efforts to manage the flow of water or transit through these dramatic elevation changes.
