About this map

Table Mountain dominates this portion of Malheur County, serving as a focal point for a complex network of upland water management. The landscape is defined by its collection of isolated water sources, essential for rangeland utility in this arid environment. Strategic catchments such as Steel Post Reservoir, Three Forks Reservoir, and Bobcat Reservoir are distributed across the terrain, reflecting the necessity of water storage for livestock and wildlife. These features, along with named springs like Antelope Spring Number Three and Sagehen Spring, dictate the placement of local thoroughfares including 3 Forks Reservoir Rd and Wildcat Creek Rd. The drainage systems of Heath Creek and Wildcat Creek provide the primary hydrologic structure for this high-desert region, connecting the various reservoirs and springs.
