2014 Map of Rawhide Pocket

About this map

Rawhide Pocket sits within a remote high-desert corridor of Malheur County, where the hydrology is defined by seasonal drainages and a network of small reservoirs. The W Little Owyhee River carves a winding path through the landscape, flanked by significant geological features such as Louse Canyon and the steep walls of Toppin Creek Canyon. The distribution of man-made water sources, including Section Sixteen Reservoir, Harvey Cracker Reservoir, and Packrat Reservoir, illustrates the intensive management of this arid terrain for livestock and land use.
