2011 Map of Jonesboro

About this map

Jonesboro serves as the focal point for this high-desert landscape in Malheur County, situated along the corridor where the Malheur River and the Jonesboro Canal provide critical water access. The settlement pattern is defined by the proximity to these water sources, illustrated by the Vaughn Peach Ranch and the D Jones Ranch positioned near the riverbank. This area is a network of canyons and gulches, including Black Canyon and Chalk Gulch, which drain toward the river from the surrounding uplands. Ranching infrastructure is evident in the numerous named water sources like Buckboard Spring and Antelope Spring, alongside reservoirs such as Peavine Reservoir and Bristol Reservoir. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Stemler Ridge and Stemler Basin in the west toward the broken country of Big Swamp Creek and Road Gulch to the east.
