2017 Map of Mahogany Gap

About this map

Mahogany Mtn dominates this high-desert landscape in southeastern Oregon, standing as a prominent landmark in a region defined by its vital water sources and remote cattle-range infrastructure. The map documents the intricate network of drainages and springs essential to this arid environment, including Gap Spring, Ninemeyer Spring, and Old Maids Spring. Human passage through this terrain is carved out by practical routes like the Goodyear Cutoff and Mahogany Cutoff, which connect the scattered points of interest. Notable geographic features such as Old Maids Basin and the central Mahogany Gap reveal the natural corridors used by early travelers and ranchers. The presence of Hawks Nest Reservoir in the southwest further highlights the historic and modern efforts to manage water resources across this part of Malheur County.
