About this map

Silvies Valley dominates the northern landscape of this Oregon interior, where the Silvies River and its accompanying West Side Ditch define the local water management. The terrain transitions from the valley floor into the timbered slopes of Malheur National Forest to the south. Numerous natural water sources, such as Buffalo Lake, Owen Spring, and Smith Spring, are vital markers in this high-elevation environment.

Logistical access into the forest and surrounding Grant and Harney counties is provided by the winding Calamity Lookout Rd and several Forest Service routes like Nat For Dev Rd 3140. The network of drainages including Mountain Creek and the North Fork Trout Creek reveals a landscape carved by seasonal flows, essential for the ranching and forestry operations that characterize this region of the state.
