2014 Map of Acty Mountain

About this map

Acty Mountain and Bald Mtn dominate this high-desert landscape in Harney County, characterized by a complex network of essential water sources. The map reveals the critical importance of localized water management for ranching and wildlife in this arid region, featuring a series of named catchments such as Halfway Reservoir, Bald Mountain Reservoir, and Acty Spring. These points of interest are linked by primitive routes like Buckaroo Pass Rd and Ackley Camp Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between the volcanic terrain of Hawks Walksy and the southern Sage Hen Hills. Numerous waterholes, including Snip Waterhole, Rastus Waterhole, and Stallion Waterhole, provide specific landmarks for those tracing the historical movement of livestock and the development of the Oregon rangelands.
