2020 Map of Juniper Ridge

About this map

Antelope Reservoir sits at the northern edge of this high-desert landscape in southeastern Oregon, where water management defines the arid terrain. The map details a complex system of seasonal drainages and catchments, including Parsnip Reservoir and Black Butte Reservoir, which supported the livestock and ranching operations of Malheur County in the early 21st century. Named flats like Antelope Flat and Frank Maher Flat reveal the historical presence of early settlers and grazing territories. The topography is dominated by the volcanic rising of Juniper Ridge and Castro Ridge, while named water sources such as Twin Springs, Canyon Spring, and Castro Spring provide critical landmarks. The local road network, including Arritola Place Rd and Gulch Place Rd, follows the natural contours of the drainages like Willow Cr and Jack Cr, marking the enduring routes through this open range.
