2024 Map of Warm Springs Reservoir

About this map

Warm Springs Reservoir dominates the northwestern corner of this landscape, its waters reaching into the high desert of the Harney and Malheur county border. The high-desert terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems and isolated springs, such as Little Alkali Spring and Kool Spring, which provided essential water points in this arid region. The settlement of Riverside serves as a central landmark in the southeastern quadrant, situated near the confluence of the South Fork Malheur River and the main Malheur River. Topographically, the area is characterized by the broad Warm Springs Valley and distinctive volcanic features like Sheep Rock. Local transport is facilitated by a grid of named routes including Juntura-Riverside Rd and Reservoir Rd, which connect the scattered water resources and the storage capacities of Riverside Reservoir Number One and Riverside Reservoir Number Two.
