2023 Map of Ironside

About this map

Ironside stands at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Malheur County, where the agricultural life of Ironside Valley is clearly visible through a complex network of water management. The community is served by the Ironside Cem and relies on a series of critical water storage and transport systems, including Moltham Reservoir One, Moltham Reservoir Two, and Moltham Reservoir Three. These reservoirs, along with features like The Ponds Reservoir, feed into irrigation works such as Rutherford Ditch and Duncan Ditch. The terrain is defined by its drainages, from the northern Picnic Boulder Creek to South Willow Creek in the south, while routes like Molthon Ranch Rd and Rose Creek Rd trace the paths of local ranchers and settlers through Lost Valley and Sand Gulch.
