2011 Map of Star Valley Knoll

About this map

Star Valley Knoll rises as a prominent landmark in this high-desert landscape near the meeting of Oregon, Idaho, and Nevada. The area is defined by a series of isolated water management features essential for life in the arid Great Basin, including Rabbit Run Reservoir and East Side Reservoir in the north, and South Willow Creek Butte Reservoir to the south. These artificial pools capture seasonal runoff to support local needs in a region where naturally occurring water is scarce, as seen with the small Pigeon-toe Lake and the intermittent drainage of Tent Creek. Practical access through this open terrain is provided by unpaved tracks like Tent Creek Rd, while the State and County Line Rd traces the jurisdictional boundaries that converge in this remote corner of Malheur County.
