1999 Map of Hughet Valley

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Malheur National Forest and Ochoco National Forest intersect in this high desert landscape, where the geography is defined by a series of working cattle operations and water management sites. The map documents the distribution of remote ranching outposts such as Ramsey Ranch and Rocking Bar Ranch, alongside the Carlon Ranch (Site), indicating the transient nature of settlement in this arid corridor. Irrigation and livestock management are central to the terrain, evidenced by a high density of small-scale impoundments including Beaverdam Reservoir, No Name Reservoir, and the East Fork Reservoir. Steep drainage systems like Dead Mule Canyon and Deer Cave Canyon carve through the plateau, while a Rock Quarry near Emigrant Creek suggests local resource extraction. The presence of numerous named springs, such as Professor Spring and Seven Up Spring, highlights the critical importance of water sources for both the ranching economy and forest management.
