2023 Map of South Fork Reservoir

About this map

The South Fork Malheur River defines this high desert landscape in Harney County, where a complex network of reservoirs and waterholes supported livestock ranching in the early 21st century. The map reveals the critical importance of water management in an arid environment, featuring numerous named catchments such as Dewdrop Reservoir, Jewell Reservoir, and the South Fork Waterhole. Local infrastructure is anchored by Crane Blvd and Malheur Cave Rd, providing access to isolated landmarks like Red Mtn and the wide expanse of Barren Valley. This survey captures the topographical nuances of the Great Basin's edge, from the drainage of Pollock Draw to the depressions of Reeds Basin. The distribution of these water features alongside roads like Norman Ranch Rd illustrates the enduring human effort to utilize these drylands for seasonal grazing and transit.
