2014 Map of Juniper Ridge

About this map

Antelope Flat and Frank Maher Flat dominate this high-desert plateau in Malheur County, where water management is the primary signature on the landscape. This 2014 survey reveals a complex network of reservoirs and diversions essential for ranching and agriculture, including the substantial Antelope Reservoir in the north and the specialized Parsnip Cr Diversion Reservoir to the southeast. The terrain is defined by basaltic rises such as Juniper Ridge and Castro Ridge, which overlook a drainage system composed of Willow Cr, Jack Cr, and Soldier Cr. Human presence is marked by isolated water sources like Castro Spg and Twin Springs, alongside localized infrastructure such as the Antelope Canal Rd and Arritola Place Rd. The map provides an exacting look at the modern land use patterns in this corner of Oregon, where the distribution of water at sites like Black Butte Reservoir dictates the geography of the high range.
