About this map

Westfall serves as the primary hub in this arid landscape of Malheur County, where the high desert meets a complex network of seasonal drainages and irrigation engineering. The settlement is anchored by the Westfall Post Office and Westfall Cemetery, while family-named operations like Jenkins Ranch and Edmundsen Ranch reflect the area's deep roots in cattle ranching. The landscape is defined by the flow of Bully Creek and its many tributaries, including Clover Creek and Cottonwood Creek.

Water management is a central theme of the region, evidenced by the presence of the Vale Oregon Main Canal in Harper Valley and the Hart Creek Reservoir. Transportation throughout this rugged terrain follows established routes such as Old Stage Rd and Harper Westfall Rd, which trace the valleys and ridges between landmarks like Danger Point. This survey captures the rural character of southeastern Oregon, where life remains closely tied to the available springs and creeks.
