2017 Map of McEwen Butte

About this map

Luce Hot Springs and other thermal features like Mud Spring define this high-desert landscape in southeastern Oregon, where water management is critical to the local geography. The map illustrates a complex network of hydraulic engineering, including Cables Ditch, the Visher Feed Canal, and several reservoirs such as McEwen Reservoir and White Reservoir. These features suggest a history of agricultural or ranching development along the South Fork Malheur River.
