2020 Map of Juntura

About this map

Juntura and the neighboring Juntura Valley sit at the confluence of several water systems and local transport routes in this 2020 record of Malheur County. The high-desert landscape is defined by the Malheur River, which is flanked by the Townsite Ditch and a network of named springs and stock reservoirs. A series of remote canyons and gulches, such as Hoot Owl Canyon and Basque Canyon, cut through the high ground of Table Top and Meeker Mtn. Human infrastructure is concentrated near the settlement, where the Juntura Airport and Juntura Cem are found alongside local roads like Shumway Grade and China Creek Rd. This modern survey highlights the critical role of water management in the region, noting numerous sites like Antelope Spring Reservoir and Basque Pit Reservoir.
