Hi Lola,
Thank you for reaching out. The following link has a list of ground covers that are considered water-wise for Central Oregon (starting on page 39): https://catalog.extension.oregonstate.edu/em9136
Hopefully, this list will at least give you some ideas. I would also recommend following up with the Master Gardeners through the OSU Extension service in Union county. They will have more knowledge on native plants in your area and what would do well without any supplemental irrigation in your region.
