About this map

The Malheur River winds through this high-desert landscape in Harney County, illustrating the vital connection between water sources and settlement in the American West. Family-named ranching sites such as the George Riley Ranch, Shelly Ranch, and Alvin Baker Ranch are clustered along the river and its tributaries, including Coyote Creek and Wolf Creek. These sites, along with the Azley Acton Cow Camp to the north, reflect the enduring livestock heritage of the region.

Physical landmarks like Battle Mountain and the prominent plateau of Moffit Table define the local topography. Water management is evident in the presence of Robbins Ditch and reservoirs like Griffin Creek Reservoir and Bar S Reservoir, which support agricultural life. The survey also traces significant local routes, including Van-Drewsey Rd and Cy Bingham Rd, which connect these remote ranching outposts.
