About this map

Mahogany Mountain and the high desert terrain of Malheur County define this interior landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map centers on the Strode Ranch, a localized point of settlement amid a network of remote ranch roads such as Jess Strode Rd and the Goodyear Cutoff. This area is characterized by seasonal water sources and distinct landforms, including the low-lying Old Maids Basin and the prominent Table Mountain.

Water management is critical in this arid environment, evidenced by the presence of Hawks Nest Reservoir and various named springs like Gap Spring and Old Maids Spring. Drainages such as Mahogany Creek and Fish Creek carve through the geography, leading toward Mahogany Gap. The survey provides a clear view of how high-elevation ridges like Spring Mountain dictate the placement of local infrastructure and private ranching interests in this corner of eastern Oregon.
