Regarding Malheur county in Oregon: you could add: the _northern_ part of Malheur county.
Here is an image that reflects the borders of Malheur county as well as the time zone border in the area: <http://ontimezone.com/images/malheur.gif>http://OnTimeZone.com/images/malheur.gif
The portion of the time zone border that bisects Malhuer county starts on the western border of the county at the southwest corner of T. 35 S., R. 37 E., and runs due east to the eastern border of the county. There is no obvious manmade, political, or geographic feature that further reflects or indicates that portion of the time zone border.
That township line is labelled on Oregon Malheur county maps as the Seventh Standard Parallel South (of the Willamette Base Line at 45°31'11"N, so 38°31'11"N, used with the Willamette Meridian for the surveys of Washington and Oregon Territory). So that portion could be described as Malheur county N of 7th Standard Parallel S of the Willamette Base Line.
