2014 Map of Little Juniper Spring

About this map

Little Juniper Spring and Coyote Spring serve as critical water sources in this arid stretch of eastern Oregon, where the landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Bully Cr and N Fork Indian Cr. The terrain is marked by significant topographical features such as Baker City Canyon and Stoney Gulch, illustrating the erosive power of seasonal water flow through the high desert. Settlement and land use are evidenced by a network of ranching roads, including Bendire Rd and Washington Flat Rd, which connect isolated water management points. Several small-scale catchments like Rock Cr Reservoir and Jordan Reservoir indicate a reliance on coordinated water storage to support livestock and land management in the expansive t17s r39e and t18s r39e townships.
