2011 Map of Starvation Spring

About this map

Lucky Seven Cow Camp and its namesake Lucky Seven Reservoir anchor this 2011 survey of Malheur County, Oregon. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral water management of the high desert, where a series of catchments like High Ridge Reservoir, Rocky Road Reservoir, and Goat Creek Reservoir suggest a territory shaped by ranching and seasonal grazing requirements. Below High Ridge, the drainage network follows the Big Antelope Creek as it makes the Upper Bend Big Antelope Creek. The southeastern corner shows the terrain deepening along Field Creek and Steer Canyon Creek. Transport is limited to specialized routes including Pole Creek Rd and Lucky 7 Cow Camp Rd, which converge near the vital water source at Starvation Spring.
