2024 Map of Skull Creek

About this map

Owyhee Wild and Scenic River dominates this high-desert landscape in Malheur County, where the Owyhee Canyon creates a sharp vertical relief against the surrounding plateaus. The topography is defined by its water management systems, including Scotts Ditch and a network of livestock-related features like the Mud Flat Waterhole, Eiguren Reservoir, and Lambing Camp Reservoir. These names reflect the grazing history of the region, where water sources were critical for movement through the arid terrain.
