About this map

Three Man Butte Well serves as a primary marker in this high-desert portion of Malheur County, where the landscape is defined by its water management and sparse transport network. The presence of several catchments, including Bedground Reservoir, Short Draw Reservoir, Ledge Rock Reservoir, and N Blue Reservoir, underscores the importance of water storage in this arid region. These features are linked by a network of drainage systems like Long Draw that navigate the terrain between the ridges.

Transportation through this area relies on the Ion Hwy and the adjacent Old Ion Hwy along the eastern boundary, while Whitehorse Rd cuts across the northern sections. To the southeast, the Blue Mountain Wls suggests a managed landscape dedicated to wilderness or land stewardship. The map reflects a modern era of land use where historic cattle-raising infrastructure and remote roadway alignments intersect in the corner of southeastern Oregon.
