2011 Map of Wrangle Butte

About this map

Wrangle Butte and Chanis Rock define the high-desert landscape of this corner of Malheur County, Oregon. This 2011 survey illustrates a region largely defined by its water resources and sparse transit corridors. Water management for ranching or local use is evident through the presence of the Top Hat Reservoir, while natural water sources like Whiskey Springs, Tub Spring, and the branching drainage of Bull Creek indicate the vital points for survival and livestock in an arid environment. The primary thoroughfare through this territory is Tub Springs Rd, which navigates the undulating terrain toward Ryegrass Creek in the south. The map provides a precise look at the drainage patterns and topographical landmarks that have guided movement through this southeastern Oregon backcountry for generations.
