2014 Map of Keeney Ridge

About this map

Keeney Ridge and Freezout Mtn dominate this high-desert landscape in Malheur County, where the map reveals an extensive network of water management features essential for rangeland utility. The terrain is marked by a series of named basins and hollows, including Harper Basin, Snow Basin, and Sand Hollow, which serve as natural catchment areas. A notable concentration of reservoirs with evocative local names, such as Slim and Fatty Reservoir, Hog Leg Reservoir, and Stacey Reservoir Number One, underscores the area's importance for livestock or irrigation. Evidence of long-standing land use is found in labels like Riley Spring and the presence of Freezout Lake Rd, which provides access through the southern reaches of Freezout Basin. To the northeast, the elevation climbs toward Hoodoo Ridge and Hog Leg Reservoir, while the western edge is defined by the steep cuts of Box Canyon and the seasonal flow of Keeney Cr.
