2011 Map of Juniper Point

About this map

Redmond Ranch and Dougal Ranch anchor this landscape in Malheur County, Oregon, where the management of water defines the human footprint on the high desert. A complex system of irrigation and collection is evident through features like the Arritola Ditch and numerous catchments, including Coyote Creek Reservoir, G A Parker Reservoir, and Mud Flat Creek Reservoir. These man-made improvements suggest a long history of ranching and livestock management in a region where natural water sources like Soldier Creek and Coyote Creek are vital but intermittent.
