2011 Map of Moores Hollow

About this map

The Snake River carves through the northern landscape of Malheur County, framing a complex network of agricultural irrigation in the high desert. This 2011 survey illustrates the intricate water management systems essential to the region, including the Owyhee Canal, Slide Ditch, and Upper Ditch. These waterways support the low-lying reaches of Lower Dead Ox Flat and the surrounding drainages. Within the river channel, Westlake Island and McRea Island sit near the mouth of various ravines such as Bridge Gulch and Wickiup Gulch. To the south, the namesake Moores Hollow sits at the base of the rising terrain, connected by a grid of local corridors like Nakao Rd and Power Rd. The map provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of the Oregon-Idaho borderlands, where the transition from river bottom to gulch defines the local geography.
