Hope Butte and Sugarloaf Butte dominate this portion of the high desert landscape in Malheur County, Oregon, where water management is the primary driver of human geography. The map illustrates a sophisticated network of irrigation and storage, anchored by the Bully Creek Reservoir and the Vale Oregon Main Canal. Numerous smaller catchments, such as Morrison Reservoir, Hope Flat Reservoir, and the numbered Willow Cr Reservoir 1 and Willow Cr Reservoir 2, show how the drainages of Kern Creek and Cottonwood Creek are captured for ranching and agriculture.
