About this map

Stoney Corral and Old Stoney Corral serve as the primary landmarks in this high-desert portion of Malheur County, where the landscape is defined by its water management and volcanic terrain. The map traces the course of Toppin Creek as it feeds into a network of livestock reservoirs, including Wildhorse Reservoir and the Lower Wildhorse Reservoir in the northeast. Higher elevations are marked by Stoney Corral Ridge, while distinctive volcanic features like Black Butte and Lookout Butte provide prominent orientation points across the sagebrush-covered plains.

Water storage is central to this region's utility, evidenced by named catchments such as Banana Lake, Deep Draw Reservoir, and Napoleon Reservoir. Local infrastructure consists primarily of unpaved access routes like Sharon Creek Reservoir Rd and Tent Creek RD, which connect these remote outposts and grazing lands. The transition from the old corral site to the newer settlement location suggests shifts in land use or ranching operations over time.
