2011 Map of Scott Reservoir
USGS Topo · Published 2011About this map
Scotts Ranch sits as a central landmark in this Malheur County landscape, where the management of water defines the human footprint on the high desert. The winding Owyhee River is supplemented by a network of early 21st-century irrigation infrastructure, including the South Side Canal and Happy Valley Ditch. These man-made channels contrast with the natural drainage of Dry Creek and Indian Fort Creek. The terrain is punctuated by significant volcanic and erosional features such as Round Mountain, Sand Hollow, and China Gulch. Small-scale water storage is visible at the Owyhee Spring Reservoir, Dry Creek Reservoir, and the namesake Scott Reservoir, illustrating the vital importance of water rights and catchment in this arid corner of eastern Oregon.
