2017 Map of Peacock Lake

About this map

Water management dominates the high desert landscape of Malheur County, where a network of reservoirs and creeks supports the arid terrain. Peacock Lake and several man-made impoundments, including Little Peacock Reservoir, Five Points Reservoir, and Antelope Reservoir, indicate a focus on livestock watering or irrigation storage in this open range. The topographic relief is defined by the prominent High Ridge in the southwest, falling away toward the drainage of Peacock Cr and Little Antelope Cr. Jackson Creek Rd provides the primary transit artery through the quadrangle, which is organized by the Public Land Survey System into townships like T36S R45E. Small-scale landmarks such as Red Tank and Campbell Reservoir serve as essential reference points in a region characterized by sparse infrastructure and significant elevation changes.
