About this map

Larribeau Reservoir and the West Little Owyhee River anchor this remote high-desert landscape in southeastern Oregon. Water management for ranching is evident through features like the Nouque Ditch and the concentration of named water sources such as Wild Rose Spring, Andy Five Spring, and Hoppin Springs. The terrain is defined by natural drainage systems and depressions, including The Basin and the deep cut of Lowry Canyon.

Surface infrastructure is minimal, consisting of unpaved access routes like Nouque Ranch Rd and Frenchman Creek Rd that connect isolated landmarks. This 2011 survey captures a vast working landscape where seasonal drainages such as Shearing Corral Creek and Saint Martin Creek navigate the undulating sagebrush country, highlighting the importance of every named spring and cattle reservoir in this arid environment.
