About this map

Snake River frontage and the irrigation networks of Malheur County define this landscape along the Oregon-Idaho border. The settlement of Annex sits on the high ground above Lower Dead Ox Flat, where a complex system of water management including Slide Ditch, the Upper Ditch, and the Owyhee Canal supports the agricultural economy of the river valley. The river itself is punctuated by Westlake Island and McRea Island, illustrating the shifting alluvial nature of the border corridor.

Upland from the fertile flats, the terrain transitions into a series of named drainages such as Moores Hollow, Shepherd Gulch, and Coyote Gulch. These dry draws are vital for local geography, often containing critical water sources like Wheel Gulch Basin Spring or King Spring. The road network, with names like This and That Rd and Morton Cutoff Rd, reflects the rural development and land use patterns that have shaped this portion of the Treasure Valley region.
