About this map

Juans Forty lies at the northern edge of this high-desert landscape in Malheur County, where the terrain is carved by the W Little Owyhee River and its numerous ephemeral tributaries. The map documents a complex system of water management and natural hydrology essential to the high-country ranching economy, including the Larribeau Reservoir and the Nauque Ditch located near Nauque Ranch Rd.

Canyons such as Wood Canyon, Louse Canyon, and Chest Canyon define the drainage patterns that feed into The Basin, while numerous water sources like Hoppin Springs, Edge Spring, and Shearing Corral Spring serve as vital landmarks. The presence of The Waterfall along with creeks like Saint Martin Cr and Rock Cr highlights the intricate network of seasonal flows that have historically supported seasonal livestock grazing and land use across these remote ridges and flats.
