About this map

Stockade Mountain and the neighboring high ground of Whitehorse Mountain dominate this corner of Malheur County, Oregon. This high-desert terrain is characterized by complex drainage networks and isolated peaks, where water sources like Coyote Springs, Helpful Spring, and Soldier Spring provide critical landmarks in a dry environment. The presence of these named springs suggests their importance for cattle ranching or land management in this part of the state.

The landscape is further defined by geologic features such as Box Canyon and the Swamp Creek Buttes. Human movement through this area is largely confined to the Riverside Crowley Rd and Crowley-Riverside Rd, which follow the natural contours shaped by Crowley Cr and Meadow Cr. The map provides a look at the land's natural state, showing how water and topography dictate the limited infrastructure in this part of the Oregon high desert.
