2020 Map of Juniper Point

About this map

The High Desert along the border of Oregon and Idaho is defined by a series of high-altitude water management features and prominent terrain markers. Juniper Point rises as a central landmark amidst a network of catchments including the CCC Reservoir, Gartin Reservoir, and Sheep Creek Reservoir. This arid landscape is crossed by ranch roads named for early settlers and topographical features, such as Chas-Maher Ranch Rd and Gulch Place Rd. The area’s geography is shaped by drainages like Soldier Cr and Mud Flat Cr, which eventually give way to distinct landforms like The Flatiron and Castro Ridge. The presence of the Arritola Ditch and several named reservoirs highlights the persistent efforts to manage water for livestock and land use in this remote corner of Malheur County.
