About this map

Westfall serves as the central settlement in this high-desert region of Malheur County, situated near the confluence of Bully Cr and Clover Cr. The landscape is defined by its sophisticated water management systems, notably the Vale Oregon Main Canal and the Hart Cr Reservoir, which support life in this arid terrain. A network of historic pathways including Old Stage Rd and Old Mail Rd crisscrosses the hills, suggesting the importance of this corridor for regional transit and communication.

Genealogical interest is centered at the Westfall Cem, while the rugged geography is marked by numerous natural water sources such as Gap Spring and Cemetery Spring. The presence of family-named features like Jim Ewing Cr and the landmark at Danger Point provide clues to early ranching and settlement patterns. The map captures an era where traditional water rights and historical transit routes continue to shape the rural character of eastern Oregon.
