2020 Map of Three Man Butte Well

About this map

Three Man Butte Well centers a high-desert landscape in southeastern Malheur County, where the infrastructure of livestock ranching and water management is paramount. The terrain is marked by a series of critical catchments including Bedground Reservoir, Short Draw Reservoir, and Ledge Rock Reservoir, which highlight the necessity of water security in this arid region. Transportation is facilitated by the long stretch of Whitehorse Rd and the Old Ion Hwy along the eastern edge, routes that have historically connected these isolated grazing lands to wider markets. The map reveals a land divided by township and range lines such as t36s r41e and t37s r41e, illustrating the systematic organization of the Oregon outback.
