2014 Map of Star Creek Reservoir

About this map

Star Creek Reservoir and Sack Canyon Reservoir serve as vital water management points in this high-elevation reach of Malheur County. The landscape is defined by dramatic geological markers such as Monumental Rock and the series of formations known as The Monuments, which overlook a network of seasonal drainages including Skull Cr and Wildcat Cr. In this arid territory, water access is carefully choreographed through infrastructure like the Star Creek Ditch and numerous isolated water sources like Whiskey Jack Spring and Little Crowley Springs. Local transit is facilitated by primitive routes such as Star Ranch Rd and Shumway Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between Dry Creek Pass and Road Canyon. The presence of named landmarks like Roostercomb and Star Mtn provides essential orientation in an area dominated by cattle ranching and watershed management.
