About this map

The Malheur River and its southern fork converge near the settlement of Riverside in this high-desert landscape of eastern Oregon. Water management defines the character of the region, from the extensive Warm Springs Reservoir in the northwest to smaller catchments like Riverside Reservoir Number One and Big Curve Reservoir. The Riverside Post Office stands as the central landmark for the local community, situated at the junction of the Juntura-Riverside Rd and Crowley-Riverside Rd.

Topography is dominated by the Warm Springs Valley and distinctive formations such as Sheep Rock, while numerous springs including Juniper Spring, Kool Spring, and Lost Spring dot the terrain. The presence of Blaylock Canyon and Winnemucca Creek illustrates the complex drainage systems that feed into the river basin, which served as a vital corridor for early transportation and ranching in Malheur County.
