2020 Map of Rockville

About this map

Rockville Cem sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape on the border of Oregon and Idaho, representing a quiet historical anchor in an area defined by ranching and water management. The terrain is marked by the volcanic character of the Owyhee Mountains and the winding course of Succor Cr, which flows through the center of the sheet. Water is the primary driver of development here, evident in the system of springs like Oneida Spring and Mud Spring, and the extensive irrigation infrastructure represented by the McKenzie-Greeley Ditch and the large Rockville Seeding Reservoir Number One. The map traces the transition from the drainages of Deadman Gulch to prominent peaks such as Crisman Hill and Pole Creek Top, illustrating the challenges of the high-desert cattle country in Malheur County.
