About this map

Bully Creek Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this Malheur County region, serving as a focal point for water management and recreation with its Campground and Boat Ramp. The terrain is defined by volcanic features like Hope Butte and Sugarloaf Butte, while the surrounding high desert is heavily modified by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure. This 1980s-era data shows the evolution of the local water system, including the Vale Oregon Canal and several smaller catchments like Lower Hope Butte Reservoir and Willow Creek Reservoir No 2. Evidence of shifting land use is visible in the presence of an Abandoned Canal and numerous Prospects, indicating historical attempts at both hydraulic engineering and mineral exploration in the hills above Bully Creek.
