About this map

Stockade Mtn and the adjacent Stockade Buttes anchor this high-desert landscape in Malheur County. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises and canyons, including Box Canyon in the northwest and Long Canyon in the southwest. This area serves as a significant drainage basin, where Stockade Creek and Crowley Creek collect seasonal runoff.

Remote water sources are scattered throughout the quadrangle, which is essential for survival in this arid environment. Named points such as Coyote Springs, Helpful Spring, and Soldier Spring provide evidence of historical land use by ranchers and travelers. The Crowley-Riverside Rd is the primary thoroughfare, connecting these high-altitude features like Whitehorse Mountain and the Swamp Creek Buttes to the wider region. The map reveals a complex network of ephemeral waterways, including East Swamp Creek and Meadow Creek, tracing the natural flow of the high basin floor.
