Stinkingwater Pass serves as the focal point for this high-desert landscape in eastern Oregon, where Us-20 bisects the terrain. The map reveals a land defined by its water management and livestock history, marked by numerous small-scale water features such as Lazy Man Reservoir, Jims Reservoir, and Steer Ridge Reservoir. These named catchments, along with several springs like Buchanan Springs and Indian Grade Spring, suggest a rugged pastoral economy where every reliable water source was critical for survival and ranching.
