About this map

Jackies Butte and the adjacent Bowden Crater define the volcanic character of this Malheur County landscape. The high desert terrain is punctuated by significant geological formations and critical water management features essential for ranching in this arid environment. Strategic water sources like the Squaw Flat Reservoir and Bull Canyon Reservoir provide necessary infrastructure for the livestock operations accessed via Beber Ranch Rd.

A network of seasonal drainages, including Bull Cr, Dry Cr, and Chimney Cr, creates a complex hydrological pattern across the high plateau. The presence of Long Water Holes in the northeast quadrant further emphasizes the historical importance of reliable water points for both early travelers and modern land use. The map illustrates a remote section of Oregon where natural volcanic features and man-made reservoirs dictate the movement of people and animals.
