2020 Map of Owyhee Ridge

About this map

Lake Owyhee and the complex drainage systems of Malheur County define this arid landscape, where water management is etched into the terrain through numerous high-desert catchments. Smaller water features like Alkali Draw Reservoir, Rock Fence Reservoir, and Bas Reservoir demonstrate the critical importance of ranching infrastructure in this part of eastern Oregon. High points such as Board Corral Mtn and the distinct profile of The Tongue provide navigational landmarks above deep incisions like Buck Gulch and Long Draw.
