About this map

Hunter Mountain and Bendire Mtn anchor this high-desert landscape in northern Malheur County, where complex drainage systems and isolated water sources define the geography. The map reveals an intricate network of named springs, including Schoolmarm Spring, Wilson Spring, and Kitten Canyon Spring, which are essential markers in this arid environment. Significant water management is evident through the presence of the Hunter Ditch and several catchments such as Kitten Canyon Reservoir and Mailbox Canyon Reservoir.

Canyons and draws carve through the high flats, with notable landmarks like Steamboat Rock rising above Beaver-Dam Cr. The presence of features named for distant locales, such as Baker City Draw and Baker City Canyon, suggests historical transit or land-use connections. Grounded in the High Desert tradition, the landscape is crisscrossed by remote routes like Skyline Rd and Bendire Rd, connecting high points like Bendire Ridge to the broad expanses of Big Flat.
