  Malheur River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The lower river near Ontario is used for irrigation in the agricultural potato -growing in the valley of the Snake along the Idaho-Oregon border.
The river lived up to its name a second time in 1845, when mountain man Stephen Meek, seeking a faster route along the Oregon Trail, led a migrant party up the river valley into the high desert along a route that has since become known as the Meek Cutoff.
In 1853 the river was used more successfully as the route of the Free Emigrant Road, a branch of the Oregon Trail that cut directly across eastern Oregon to Eugene at the south end of the Willamette Valley.
