2011 Map of Jordan Meadow NW

About this map

Jordan Meadow Flat and the surrounding high desert terrain dominate this 2011 landscape along the Oregon-Nevada border. This area is defined by a complex drainage network, where McDermitt Creek flows through the northern reaches while Washburn Creek and its tributary, Little Washburn Creek, carve through the central and southern sections. The map reveals a land utilized for remote transit and ranching, anchored by the namesake Jordan Meadow Mountain in the southwest. Human activity is sparse, marked primarily by the Jordan Meadow Rd which provides access through the eastern corridor. The convergence of numerous seasonal waterways, including Wildcat Creek and Jordan Meadow Creek, highlights the hydrological significance of these flats for local land use and ecological patterns in Malheur County.
