2011 Map of Tub Mountain

About this map

Tub Mountain stands as a central landmark in this high-desert stretch of Malheur County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage basins and water storage. The area is marked by numerous catchments, including Love Reservoir, Moores Hollow Reservoir, and the Alkali Reservoir, reflecting the essential nature of water management in this arid Oregon territory. Navigational history is etched into the terrain via the Old Oregon Trl in the southwest corner, while modern transit is dominated by the highway corridor running through the eastern half of the quadrangle. The topography alternates between significant ridges like Pine Tree Ridge and deep erosional features such as Wheel Gulch Basin and Trail Gulch, illustrating the geologic character of the region as it appeared in the early 21st century.
