2024 Map of Westfall Butte

About this map

Westfall Butte dominates the central terrain of this high-desert Malheur County landscape, surrounded by a network of water management features essential for high-altitude ranching. The drainage patterns of South Fork Indian Creek and Gregory Creek are punctuated by numerous catchment basins, including Upper Gregory Cr Reservoir and South Gregory Cr Reservoir, reflecting the region's historical reliance on seasonal water storage. Remote access routes like Gregory Creek Rd and Pole Creek Rd track through the basin and range topography, linking isolated water sources such as Muir Reservoir and Jones Reservoir. Numerous named springs, including Big Spring, Buckaroo Spring, and Kelsay Butte Spring, indicate the vital points of groundwater used for livestock and land management in this arid stretch of eastern Oregon.
