About this map

North Fork Bully Creek and Bully Creek dominate the drainage patterns of this high-desert landscape in Malheur County. The map reveals an intricate network of water management through numerous small catchments, including Jordan Reservoir, Hanna Reservoir, and Rock Cr Reservoir. This concentration of man-made water features suggests a landscape heavily adapted for livestock or local agricultural needs, where seasonal flows are carefully captured.

A network of gravel and unimproved roads, such as Bully Creek Rd and Bendire Rd, provides access across the broken terrain of Baker City Canyon and Stoney Gulch. Named water sources like Little Juniper Spring and Coyote Spring serve as vital landmarks in this arid environment. The map also records the precise sections of the Public Land Survey System, which organize the region into the townships and ranges that define local land ownership and grazing allotments.
