2020 Map of Moon Reservoir

About this map

Silver Creek Valley defines the central geography of this high-desert landscape, where a series of water management features support the arid surroundings. The prominent Moon Reservoir serves as a primary catchment, flanked by the distinct elevation of the Battleground Buttes to the northeast and the long stretch of Coyote Rim to the southwest. This area is characterized by scattered water sources that carry names of local significance, including Antelope Reservoir, Carvix Reservoir, and the curiously named Homestead Hole. Further north, smaller natural water bodies like Rock Lake and Wild Horse Lake punctuate the high ground. The drainage of Silver Creek connects these vital hubs, reflecting the precarious balance of water and land in the Oregon interior.
