About this map

Tucker Flat and the surrounding high country of Union County are defined by a complex network of water management and rugged topography in this 2011 survey. The landscape is marked by significant hydraulic infrastructure, including the Pilcher Creek Reservoir, Wolf Creek Reservoir, and Huddleston Reservoir, alongside an intricate system of agricultural irrigation channels like the Carnes Ditch, Powers Ditch, and Hutchinson Slough. These features illustrate the essential role of water diversion in supporting the region's foothills.

Terrain features such as Anthony Gorge, Dark Canyon, and the high point of Shaw Mountain dominate the skyline, while history is etched into the earth at China Diggings. The northern reaches of the North Powder River flow through the southern portion of the map, fed by numerous seasonal drainages such as Dutch Creek and Daley Creek. The presence of Hunter Camp and various forest roads like Tucker Flat Rd and Shingle Gulch Trail Rd indicate a landscape used for both resource management and seasonal recreation.
