2017 Map of Ironside

About this map

Ironside Valley serves as the focal point for this rural landscape in eastern Oregon, where water management defines the high-country economy. The map reveals a complex network of irrigation and storage, including the Rutherford Ditch and a series of numbered reservoirs such as Moltham Reservoir One through Moltham Reservoir Four. These features, alongside The Ponds Reservoir, illustrate the critical importance of capturing runoff from seasonal creeks like Willow Cr and Rose Cr for agricultural use in this arid environment.
