About this map

The settlement of Keating serves as the focal point for this agricultural landscape, situated where the Powder River meanders through the Lower Powder Valley. This 2011 survey illustrates an intricate system of water management essential to the high desert region, characterized by numerous named canals and diversions like Basche Ditch, Duncan Ditch, and Perkins Ditch. These waterways support the valley's livestock and farming operations, drawing from the river and local drainages including Ruckles Creek and Clover Creek.

Evidence of the area's rural social infrastructure appears in labels such as Keating Grange Hall Rd, while the upland terrain is defined by water storage at Constance Reservoir and Love Reservoir. The map documents a landscape of large-scale land parcels and traditional crossings, most notably at Middle Bridge, where the local road network converges to span the river's winding course through the valley floor.
