2011 Map of Skull Creek

About this map

The Owyhee River carves a deep path through this section of Malheur County, defining a landscape dominated by water management and high-desert terrain. By 2011, the region's ranching and livestock heritage is clearly visible through an extensive network of named reservoirs, including Lambing Camp Reservoir, Eiguren Reservoir, and the Dead Horse Butte Reservoir. These artificial water sources, paired with features like Scotts Ditch, illustrate the vital infrastructure required to support life and industry in this arid corner of eastern Oregon.
