2014 Map of Trout Creek Canyon

About this map

The Trout Creek Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in southeastern Oregon, where a network of seasonal watercourses and drainage basins define the terrain. The map highlights the significant erosion patterns of the Trout Creek Canyon, Chalk Canyon, and Rosebriar Canyon, which channel intermittent flows from heights such as Lookout Butte and Flagstaff Butte. Human presence is marked primarily by ranching infrastructure and remote access routes like Whitehorse Ranch Ln and Old Trout Creek Rd. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by the Chalk Canyon Reservoir and Stoney Spring Reservoir, which serve as vital collection points in an otherwise arid environment. The transition of drainage from Trout Cr toward Antelope Cr illustrates the complex hydrology of this high-elevation plateau.
