About this map

Little Juniper Spring and Coyote Spring anchor this high-desert reach of Malheur County, where a sophisticated network of water management features defines the landscape. The geography is characterized by several man-made impoundments, including Jenkins Reservoir Number One, Rock Cr Reservoir, and Hanna Reservoir, reflecting the critical importance of water storage in this arid region. These reservoirs are situated along the drainage systems of N Fork Bully Cr and Bully Cr, which wind through the township and range divisions of the high plateau.

Local ranching and transit infrastructure is evidenced by the intersection of remote routes like Bully Creek Rd, Bendire Rd, and Gregory Creek Rd. The terrain transitions from the depths of Baker City Canyon and Stoney Gulch to higher elevations, providing a detailed view of the natural water sources and engineered catchments that have sustained rural Oregon operations into the twenty-first century.
