About this map

Peacock Lake sits at the center of this Malheur County landscape, surrounded by an intricate network of drainage and water management infrastructure essential to the high desert. The terrain is defined by the seasonal flow of Peacock Creek and Little Antelope Creek, which are captured by a series of small, strategically placed impoundments. These features, including Deadman Reservoir, Five Points Reservoir, and Antelope Reservoir, reveal the critical importance of water storage for ranching and land use in this part of eastern Oregon.

While largely devoid of permanent settlements, the area is connected by rugged routes such as Jackson Creek Rd in the west. The distribution of named catchments like Campbell Reservoir and Varment Creek Reservoir across the southeast suggests a carefully managed rangeland. This 2011 survey provides a contemporary record of these water features and the subtle topography that guides the flow of Bull Creek and other local waterways.
